One busy weekday morning, author Kay Wyma was backing out of her driveway when a big truck came barreling down the road and forced her to the shoulder. Frustrated and annoyed, she took a deep breath, slowed her heart rate, and realized that she had a choice to make: she could wallow in her anger and frustration, or she could be thankful that no one, including herself, had been injured.
She chose the latter. The moment she did, Kay felt compassion for the truck driver instead of condemnation. She even wondered what kind of bad day he must be having to drive so recklessly.
God used that simple shift in mindset to fill her with His peace and change the course of her day for the better. She began to think, “What would happen if I did this every day?”
That experience sparked her idea for a 30-day project she calls Soul30 – a 30-day experiment to bring godly virtues into people’s lives such as thankfulness, kindness, and mercy instead of anger, fear, and entitlement.
