I like to be prepared. You too? Trying to pack in everything we need for all the days, in all the ways, with all the people in mind is exhausting! It’s comforting to know it’s not all on me, myself, and I to take care of ev-er-y-thing!

Psalm 23:4 reminds us the Good Shepherd’s thought of every last detail. So whether life is feeling extra awesome or extra complicated, let's unpack all those "extras" together.

Here’s a small excerpt: “Maybe we’re so entangled and weighed down with our own overpacked baggage, overpacked life, overpacked thoughts, overpacked everything. Whether we’ve lost our way, our hope, our health, or our minds for a moment, rest assured… we are not alone in this. The Good Shepherd packed all He’d need to perfectly and completely care for you and for me.”

“Are we there yet?” That blessed, universal question every parent loves to hear 23 minutes into a 600-mile road trip. It’s gonna be a long day, friends! Yep, we’ve reached the halfway point of our series, “It’s a Psalm 23-Kinda Day.” And, well…it’s about to take a turn.

Join me as we round the bend into a deeper (and darker) part of our Psalm 23 journey. Yet, the deeper the valley, the deeper the relationship can build. May Psalm 23:4 bring comfort as I share a glimpse into my “valley of the shadow of death." Valleys aren’t usually our favorite part of the journey. Let’s walk it together.

Here’s a small excerpt: “Friend, for nine months, I walked THROUGH the valley, until I walked out. I didn’t walk out with a son, but I did walk out with something else… my bedrock belief that He.is.good. It’s why I so readily refer to Him as the Good Shepherd because the depth of my relationship with Christ was forged in the depth of that valley.”

Ever feel like sometimes no matter what you do, you keep getting turned around? (Uh-huh.) It's easy to feel like we're just spinning our wheels and getting nowhere. Turns out, Psalm 23:3 has something to say about that. We'll continue our series, “It’s a Psalm 23-Kinda Day," as we chat about steadying ourselves when life twists and turns.

Here’s a small excerpt: “I began to think about all the times He’s led me, guided me in circles of righteousness. And wow, do those circles look odd? They haven’t always been easy, enjoyable, or even welcomed. I don’t always understand the circles He’s guiding me to take, and sometimes I step off that path for a minute. Yet, even in those moments, those cycles if you will, the Shepherd is always right there…even when it may not feel like He is.”
