Are We There Yet, God?

2026-10-0409:21

Have you ever found yourself praying about the exact same thing... every single day? Wondering when God will answer? Waiting. Hoping. Asking again. In today's Butterfly Thought, Kelly reflects on a quiet morning with God that turned into an unexpected lesson about patience, gratitude, and faith. Through the familiar childhood question, "Are we there yet?" she shares how God gently reminded her that sometimes our waiting can become so consuming that it overshadows His presence today. What if God is inviting us to exchange, "Are we there yet?" for "I'm here, God." This episode is an invitation to trust His timing, rest in His goodness, and rediscover gratitude while we wait.

Use Your Words - Not Your Emotions

2026-09-2008:03

Have you ever noticed that children often react with emotion before they have the words to express what they are feeling? This week, while caring for her granddaughter, Kelly found herself repeating words she once spoke to her sons: "Use your words, not your emotions." That simple moment became a powerful reminder that many of us still struggle with the same lesson as adults. Jesus never promised an easy life. He promised that troubles would come. The question is not whether difficulties will arrive—but how we will respond when they do. In this episode, Kelly reflects on parenting, grandparenting, emotional maturity, and the wisdom found in God's Word when life doesn't go the way we planned.

The Golden Rule: The Mirror For The Heart

2026-09-0609:23

We've all heard the Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated." But what if Jesus intended it to be much more than good manners? What if the Golden Rule is actually a mirror—revealing the condition of our own hearts? In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts, Kelly reflects on grace, assumptions, mercy, difficult conversations, forgiveness, and why the way we treat people often says more about us than it does about them. This gentle conversation invites us to pause before reacting, choose curiosity over assumptions, and remember the incredible grace God has already extended to each one of us. Because perhaps the Golden Rule isn't simply a rule. Perhaps it's an invitation to reflect the heart of Jesus. Download this week's free Companion Reflection Guide at: www.hisservinghands.com

Waiting Isn't Wasted

2026-08-1612:52

Have you ever prayed, "God...please rescue me now?" Most of us have. Whether you're waiting for healing, an answer, restoration, direction, or simply relief from a difficult season, waiting can feel exhausting. We know God can move—but sometimes we wonder why He hasn't...yet. In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts, Kelly shares a family story about a whale-watching trip that became an unexpected lesson about God's timing. Together we'll explore why waiting is rarely wasted, why God often grows roots before fruit, and how the greatest miracle may not simply be the answer we've been praying for—but the person we're becoming while we wait. If you're in a waiting season, this episode is a gentle reminder that God hasn't forgotten you. He is still working, even when you cannot yet see it.

Changing "I Have To" Into "I GET To"

2026-08-0910:31

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I have to..."? I have to go to work. I have to make dinner. I have to exercise. I have to pay bills. I have to clean the house. What if one small shift in perspective could completely change how you experience your day? In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts, Kelly reflects on a simple phrase God gently brought back to her heart: changing "I have to" into "I get to." Together we'll explore gratitude, renewing our minds, relearning truths we've forgotten, and discovering God's blessings hidden inside our everyday responsibilities. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or simply stuck in routine, this episode is an invitation to slow down, notice God's goodness, and embrace a fresh perspective.
