I had agreed to emcee the night and put together a \u201cNewlywed Game\u201d for some couples. I\u2019d been working on it for weeks. The questions were written. The plan was in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But by Wednesday or Thursday, I hit a wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was tired. Really tired. And if I\u2019m honest\u2026 a little grumpy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My wife gently said, \u201cYou always get this way when you\u2019re stressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then Friday came. The game was hilarious. The room was full of laughter. The night was a success. And by Saturday morning, I felt nothing but relief. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whew.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It was worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It made me realize how often stress changes us before the outcome even arrives. We carry the weight of what\u2019s coming, and it affects our attitude, our tone, even how we treat the people closest to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Philippians 4:6<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had prepared the event, but I hadn\u2019t fully surrendered the stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019re in that \u201cWednesday or Thursday\u201d moment right now. Something is coming. A deadline. A conversation. A responsibility. And it\u2019s weighing on you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the relief of Saturday comes, don\u2019t let stress steal your joy, or your kindness. Give it to God now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the same Lord who will carry you through Friday night is with you on Wednesday afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Ryan<\/p>\n<p>Kinship Bible Quiz!<\/p>\n<p>Question: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In What book of the Bible is the prophecy of where Jesus would be born found?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Answer: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micah 5:2<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Storytime: <a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Korban-was-Saved_Storytime-OD-021826.mp3\">Korban was Saved!!!<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Just-one-more-thing_021826.mp3\">Just One More Thing!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Day is it?
