Tomorrow is the last day to subscribe to receive this December’s advent devotional!

This year’s Advent theme is Unexpected.

Because sometimes God shows up in ways we never planned. In the quiet moments. In the detours. In the small, ordinary spaces that don’t look special at all.

If you’re craving a slower, more meaningful December, this month’s Unexpected devotional mailing is for you.

Each envelope holds Scripture readings, reflection questions, and a small reminder that God still works through what we don’t see coming.

Orders close on November 15 so they can arrive before Advent begins. You can subscribe or learn more at openitanyway.com.

Our lives fill up fast. Work, school, noise, lists, distractions.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is pause and make room.

What could you say “no” to this week so you can say “yes” to more of God’s presence?

Quiet moments count too.

Let’s settle an important question. When do you decorate for Christmas?
Early November? After Thanksgiving? Or do you secretly never take them down?

There’s no wrong answer here, but I’m curious how everyone decides when the season begins for them.

Sometimes we need to slow down long enough to remember that God still meets us in ordinary days. The noise of life gets loud, and before we know it, our hearts are running on empty.

If you’ve been wanting to open your Bible again but don’t know where to start, this is your gentle nudge. Start small. Start where you are.

You can download the free Back to the Word devotional at openitanyway.com and take the first step back toward Scripture this week.

Hey friend, I’m Heather, and I help women get back to the Word without guilt or pressure.

Let’s be honest. Staying consistent in your Bible reading can be hard. Life gets busy. We mean to start, but somehow the day slips away. I’ve been there too.

That’s why I created Open It Anyway. It’s a grace-filled space to help women slow down, reconnect with Scripture, and remember that perfection isn’t the goal. Presence is.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” – James 4:8

If your heart has been whispering, “I want to get back in the Word,” start here.
💌 Download my free 7-day devotional, Back to the Word, at openitanyway.com.
It’s simple, honest, and full of gentle encouragement to open your Bible again right where you are.

Stick around for daily encouragement, sneak peeks of upcoming mailers, and reminders that it’s never too late to start again.

🌿 You don’t have to feel ready. Just open it anyway.

Sometimes the black and white version isn’t the prettiest, but it’s part of the process. It’s where the words get refined, the prayers get reread, and the message gets made ready. Before it’s colorful and polished, it’s honest and in progress. And honestly, that’s how God works with us too. Proofreading may look plain, but it’s where grace and growth meet ink and intention. And let me tell you, I’m so glad I did this round or some of it would not have made a lick of sense!

In 1 Kings 17, a widow had just enough flour and oil for one last meal when Elijah showed up asking for bread. She could have said no, but she trusted God with the little she had left. That’s when the miracle started!

Sometimes it feels like we have run out of strength, hope, or faith. But God takes what looks empty and proves that He is still enough.

If your jar feels empty this week, keep trusting. God is not finished with you yet. (That’s a promise!)
