For a lot of days now, a lot, I’ve been waiting for good news.
Why am I waiting for good news? Because it seems like, lately, there’s been way more bad news that anything.
It’s been a season for me and for my family of tough situations. one. thing. after. the. other. And most of it has been bad news. Frustrating news.
My husband and I have almost begun to laugh as one more thing happens/breaks/falls apart. Why? Because it keeps happening and at some point you almost have to laugh to keep from falling apart.
I don’t understand it and cannot explain it. I just know it’s been hard. It’s caused me to press in and seek God more. That’s good…
But back to the waiting for good news… I long for it…for the day I get the phone call or letter in the mail or when my husband comes home from work with a huge smile on his face. I pray and ask for it: “Good news today God? Oh please let it be!”
And this day, when I pray my today prayer for something good in the midst of the hard, I am set free from my seeking. Because I hear the whisper of “I AM all the good news you ever need.”
So true.
“My WORD is the only true good news. Circumstances and earthly things never compare to My truth.”
I shake my head as tears fall because I know this…should have this down by now. But it’s not a rebuke. Just love and an answer. Some good news in my day.
The good news I’ve been longing for I have. And on the days when the bad threatens to crush me I can hold on to the good news that never changes, never fades, never disappoints…
What good news do you need to hear today? That you are loved? Accepted? Provided for? Have an ever-present Helper? Can find rest? Can be renewed? Have hope? Can overcome? You have it sweet friend. It’s tucked away in promises-great in God’s Word. Let Him wash you with truth today and speak good news to your heart.
Thank you! This is just what my heart needed to be reminded of.
So glad it was a timely word for your heart. Blessings, Kristin
“The good news that I’m longing for, I have.” As a person seeking good news through hard times, this really hit me this morning. I have Jesus. What else do I need? Thank you!

Oh, Kristin, as always your words are full of nourishing refreshment. The prayers of my heart spill over for you today. It is no wonder that life is bringing challenge after challenge in this season of Declare Conference preparation when you are doing so much to equip so many. I had already been praying for you out of that concern. My prayers deepen today. On that, my friend, you can count.
