I posted this picture on Instagram (@suebidstrup) and Facebook (Great Big YES) yesterday. If you are not following, please do! It’s fun! I have been thinking about this picture and how awesome it is that this person is out there trusting, letting the wind carry him. We don’t have to kite surf. I’ve never done it. But

Intentional Rest
It’s July! In July, Holy Yoga rests. Ministry wide, we take a sabbath…on purpose. It’s intentional. And challenging. I’m tempted to say, “Who? Me? I’m good with resting. I like to lay around and be lazy.” But the truth is, I may look like I’m resting. Feet up and coffee in hand but I’m always

Day 8! 30 days of Thanks! Join us!
We talked about fear and worry today in Bible study. I’m thankful for Bible study. I’m thankful for transparency and truth. I’m thankful for God’s Word that reminds me that fear and worry aren’t part of God’s agenda. Fear and worry are the old thing. Jesus is doing a new thing. I am following into
