Kristi Leigh
We are in the sweet spot of a wonderful, festive season — fresh off of Thanksgiving and ramping up for Christmas! These holidays can bring out the best in us (generosity, hospitality, celebration) while also setting us up for feeling our worst (financial strain, relational stress). Thankfully, the same God who spent His first night on Earth in a manger also hears us from His heavenly throne.
I woke up this morning feeling like I wanted to begin the day with prayer. I have an energetic almost-2-year-old, Josiah, so I thought the best way to pray would be at my piano. He likes to play, too, and we usually can share–one of us on the low notes, the other takes the high ones. …That didn’t last long. My next idea was to try praying while coloring (an idea I got from the book Praying In Color). Josiah loves to doodle, so I drew our prayer requests: the sale of our house, success for my husband’s job and even a good day hunting. Josiah scribbled over each one with a black crayon. (Not a technique discussed in the book!)
So, my final approach was to try praying while vacuuming. This resulted in a meltdown from my little helper, who wants to vacuum–but is a few feet too short! At the end of it all, I wasn’t sure that my prayers were well composed…or even audible over all the racket! But, Bible verses I learned many years ago came flooding back:
Psalm 139:1-4
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
What an encouragement and relief! I needed those reminders and hope that they are helpful for you, too! Thankfully, God’s hearing and responding has nothing to do with how well I pray. He loves and cares for us and knows our hearts before we speak (or doodle or vacuum!) Much grace to you in this special season.

Short Term Memories |
I was baptized at Hershey Free Church when I was in junior high. It just so happened that the day my church was holding the event was on Halloween, and I was at a point in my life where my school was my mission field. This was back in the day when “In The Light” by Charlie Peacock and “Be The One” by Al Denson were newer hit songs, not Classics — and “Shine” by Newsboys didn’t even exist yet! I carried my Bible with me every day at school and invited friends to youth group events. I was on fire for God on couldn’t think of a more powerful day to be baptized than on Halloween. I was into Frank Peretti books and learning about spiritual warfare…being baptized on Halloween was as good as it could possibly get! It was like taking the darkest day and making it stand for my dedication to Jesus, which I figured would send a loud and clear message to the devil.
The Bible verse I shared before taking the plunge was Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
If you’re in total darkness, even just one match is a game changer! One very small light will always defeat darkness. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5
In the Bible, “Light” is life. It guides our path. It purifies. It brings hope. It is closely associated with God’s presence and favor. Jesus is called the “Light of the World”. Isn’t it such good news that God called us out of the darkness and into His marvelous light?! We’ll sing about it with a light-themed playlist on this Sunday’s Praise & Worship Show from 6-10 a.m. and I hope you’ll join me.
Hi there,
Here’s the “Good Good Father” devotional
The Hillsong United song “Rhythms Of Grace” is rooted in Matthew 11:28-30The Message (MSG)
28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Feel free to get in touch,
