Today I Choose to Embrace God’s Promises
This post was written by author Danita Cummins, business and leadership consultant and podcast host. Visit danitacummins.com for more information. Today I choose to embrace God’s promises. In a world that constantly asks us, “What is your purpose?” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. The pressure to define our purpose can feel like a […]
Today I Voted
Today I voted. I exercised my civic duty by voting in the 2024 Presidential Election. There were other items on the ballot, too. Other positions and people and amendments. I voted for these as well. Most of them, anyway. There were a few boxes I left blank, as I wasn’t educated enough to make a […]
Gratitude Challenge 2024
It’s that time of the year again… When the leaves turn to red and orange. When scarves and boots are the go-to wardrobe. When candles, books, and blankets become the main weekend activities. When it’s socially acceptable to eat pumpkin pie for breakfast. It’s the time when gratitude moves to the forefront of people’s minds. […]
Today I Taught Spanish
Today I taught Spanish. To be more clear, I substitute taught for a Spanish class. Usually as a substitute teacher, there’s a pretty low expectation set. This is especially true when I go in to sub for a teacher or class I’ve never been in before. I’m expected to take attendance, maintain order in the […]
Today Was Sabbath
Today was Sabbath. Every Saturday is Sabbath for me. It’s not always been Saturdays though. My husband takes Friday as his Sabbath. When I worked more on the weekends, Wednesday was my Sabbath. If you’ve spent much time around me, you know how important this weekly day of rest is for my life and faith. […]
Today Was a Hurricane
Today was a hurricane. Literally, there was a hurricane. I would probably also say “today was a hurricane” when it was a stressful day, but that’s not what I mean in this blog. Hurricane Helene came through this weekend and wreaked unbelievable havoc on the southeast. While hurricanes are common this time of year, the […]
Today I Was Anxious
Today I was anxious. It’s been a week full of anxiety-inducing events. I felt anxious, unsure, sad, and mad all at the same time. I wonder if maybe you felt the same way? Weeks like this can bring down the morale of the whole culture. Another school shooting, the anniversary of the attack on 9/11, […]
Today I Ate Taco Bell
Today I ate Taco Bell. I ordered my favorite $3 nachos and devoured them with a side of spicy potatoes! Nachos have always been one of my favorite foods. Matt and I even served a nacho bar at our wedding! When it comes to chips, cheese, and whatever other toppings happen to be available, I […]
Today I Abided
Today I abided. I fasted and prayed as part of my Sabbath. When these three spiritual rhythms are combined, the mystery of God is on display in a way that’s hard to explain. I talk a lot about Sabbath when I teach. I share a little about prayer–mostly that it’s the weakest area of my […]
Today I Went to a Football Game
Today I went to a football game. It was my first NFL game ever! I’ve lived in the Jacksonville, Florida area for two years now, also known as Duval County. Or, more colloquially, DUUUVALLLLL! One thing I’ve noticed about living in a variety of places is the varying commitments to the sports teams in each […]
