Everyday Cathedral: seeing His greatness in the ordinary

Hello! So glad you could stop by! I hope through the words shared here you can find a moment to pause and stand back in awe of God's goodness & His greatness. And that you may know His "love that surpasses knowledge" (Eph.3:19). It is these moments that transform the ordinary into everyday cathedrals full of His glory.

Yesterday we celebrated Bailey’s first birthday! Of course, the girls made him his own cake and gave him lots of love ❤️ #bailey #redgoldenretriever

These have been some hard, hard days. These roses are from a wild rose bush in our front yard. I keep snipping them and bringing them inside to sit in my kitchen window sill so I can enjoy their beauty and vibrant color. They make me think of Jesus&r

not even a crack || heidi keeler

about 5 years ago

You’ve probably noticed this by now, but there aren’t many things that are perfect in this life, most everything is flawed and broken at some point or another. Even your people whom you love and who love you the most have cracks and inconsistencies. You do. I do. We all do.

The faithfulness of God, however, is neither cracked nor flawed.

the unlikely place to find courage || heidi keeler

This new year is still pretty fresh, but enough days have gone by for me to be able to see which of my New Year’s goals are going to be easier to keep than others.

Drink more water? Killing it.

Cut out sugar? No comment.

But what about those dreams and aspirations that have more to do with the kind of person I want to be than the new habits I want to form? What about those deeper desires of my heart that I sense are very much connected to my purpose?

why falling apart is part of the miracle || heidi keeler

about 6 years ago

One of the most precious treasures of truth from the Christmas story is that what seems to us to be falling apart or less than ideal are often the platforms where God stages His most beautiful and life-giving miracles. What seems to us to be failures and set backs are often God’s hand in disguise, positioning us to be in just the right place at just the right time to see His miraculous unfold in our lives.

what are you staring at? || heidi keeler

How big is God? Is He bigger than all the hundreds of ways I messed up today? Is He bigger than the problem staring me straight in my face that I have exhausted myself trying to find an answer to? Is He bigger than the black and white facts that say "this isn't going to work"?

by faith || heidi keeler

There is an unnamed man in the New Testament that I feel I am a kindred spirit to. You read his story in Mark 9, where this desperate father brings his child, his son, to Jesus' closest followers, asking that they heal him. When they are unable to do so, the father turns to Jesus and begs him to have pity on them and help them, if he can. "'If you can'?" asks Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." At once the father blurts out what I have found myself so often feeling: "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

when the clouds roll in || heidi keeler

When I was growing up, my family would often take walks in the evening and visit new neighborhoods close to us that were in the process of being built. We liked to walk through the unfinished homes when only the studs were up and try to guess what each area was going to be. I think this is when my fascination with the design and layout of houses began. Luckily, I married someone who shares that same fascination

I often wonder how it would have felt to wake up on Saturday, the day after Jesus was crucified. How do you get up in the morning when just the day before you watched hope die?

when God set me up || heidi keeler

about 7 years ago

Several months ago, I sat next to my husband on our living room couch, quietly crying in frustration and pain over the circumstances we found ourselves in the midst of. I wondered out loud for the hundredth time why these things had happened, when they were going to be resolved, and where in the world was God while all this was going on. Because I sure hadn't been hearing from Him much lately.

a gift for when you're not enough || heidi keeler

Ever have those days when you feel like you're just not enough? I'd like to say I am asking for a friend, but I'm not (sigh).

Today was one of those days. And it wasn't just that I didn't feel enough, it was more of a cold, hard fact that I wasn't enough.

bowing low and standing strong || heidi keeler

They say a smile can make someone's day. What makes God smile at me? What makes him nod his head and say "Yes, my girl, that's what I'm talking about!"?

Because I really want to know. And then I want to make sure I do it, day after day.

I'm not talking about what makes God love me, because that is a different question with a different answer - nothing.
