Michigan’s officially broken up with summer, and we’re back to hoodies and sock-hats. I’m not mad about that. Fall is my favorite season; it just makes me happy…until it doesn’t. Happiness is pretty fickle. We’re happy…until we’re not. So, let’s talk about all things happy. Even Bob Ross would like this one with his “happy little trees.” We’ll check out the latest lie in our series: Did God Really Say? www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “Because the lie isn’t really “God just wants me to be happy.” The lie is actually about God’s character, His intention toward me, and His plan for who He made me to be- which is a reflection of God, not to be god.”

I love helping others, especially if that means dropping off some homemade soup or donuts. Reverse the roles? Not so much. Many of us (ahem, basically ALL of us) would much prefer to be the helper than the helped. Whether that’s helping out someone in need or just fixing our own mess, we DO NOT, no-way-no-how enjoy asking for help. So, we don’t…because we’ve bought into another lie from Genesis 3. Grab your coffee and let’s tackle the next sneaky, little lie in our series: Did God Really Say?

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “They immediately start helping. Helping themselves, because God helps those who help themselves, right? Nope. Not only is that idea never found in Scripture, thank you Ben Franklin who wrote it in Poor Richard’s Almanac, but the concept isn’t even Biblical. God helps those who are helpless to help themselves.”

How’s your week going? Nailin’ it? Nope, me neither. But even if you are meeting and beating your goals, it never feels enough, right? Because it’s not….because we’re not. Not what? Not enough. And that’s good news, honest. It’s true. Our “enoughness” ended the moment we ate the fruit in Genesis 3. And now, well, no matter how hard we try, we’ll never sew enough fig leaves to cover our “not-enoughness.” And some things take a little more than positive self-talk and daily affirmations. So, let’s tackle another sneaky, little lie in our series: Did God Really Say? You Are Enough: Nope!

Here’s a small excerpt: “I can’t say enough positive affirmations, love myself first, or manifest my supreme future. It will not work because I.am.not.enough, and neither are you. There are no amount of fig leaves to cover up what was ultimately uncovered that day in the Garden. Christ is the covering, once and for all. And that’s the good news.”
