April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I changed the paper towel roll in the women’s bathroom on the first try, so I’m basically unstoppable. #EveryDayImPastoring #churchlife 090
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I’m doing well today! I’ve had some ups and downs but our family is great :) 120
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Much less than expected but we haven’t checked the roof and there are a few others things to check 120
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Atticus says hi. He also wants to see your furry friends. 5201
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Jesus didn’t command his followers to overthrow Rome to usher in the kingdom of God. Jesus taught his followers to live as though the kingdom was already here, and to make it so wherever need is still found - to comfort the brokenhearted, feed the hungry, welcome the stranger. 0216
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 04/03/2026The book of Revelation is meant to reveal something to us about God. It is not meant to reveal some hidden plan about the fate of the United States. 3388
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Fear-based theology seeks to control every aspect of a person's life. Love-based theology seeks to transform every aspect of a person's life. 1133
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 02/03/202612 - Grounded I walk the land where I find myself, and I notice the land thirsting for rain. It is dry, open, expansive, and waiting. Not unlike the deepest parts of my self. To be grounded is to know where one finds oneself, and to accept what one sees there as reality. #LentenSnapshots2026 061
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 01/03/202611 - Here Under the recliner Atticus speaks. “Hey, human,” he says, “I like it here.” #LentenSnapshots2026 1140
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 28/02/2026These hummingbirds are solar lights. All day they collect light but do not shine. And then, when there’s darkness, the light emerges. #LentenSnapshots2026 050
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 28/02/202610 - Darkness I recently read there’s a scientific theory that suggests even darkness contains light. I find that fascinating. What if it could be true that even in the places where no light seems to shine, the light is still present, but hidden? 250
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Today, I drove multiple places, multiple times without much thought. My car might be small, but my courage is not. #LentenSnapshots2026 0100
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Take driving, for instance. I spent almost 25 years of my life too afraid to drive, only taking the wheel in emergencies (which does not teach your brain that driving can be a positive). 150
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 26/02/20268 - Belief The things we believe about ourselves can either hold us back or set us free. I spent way too much of my life saying “I can’t do that.” “I’m not brave enough.” “I can’t do that by myself.” 161
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 25/02/2026As a child, I spent hours telling Jim Creek my stories, sharing with it memories, hopes, dreams, and fears. I never paused to consider it hadn't always been there, or that it wouldn't always stay. #LentenSnapshots2026 030
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 25/02/20267 - Location Have you ever dipped your feet in old Jim Creek and let the water tell you its story? Did you listen as it whispered, "I haven't always flowed here. I used to carve a different path"? Would you have believed it had you heard? 130
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 24/02/2026The long road of winter has felt different this year. Warm temperatures. Almost no snow. The days still short. But today, I found an egg in the coop, and it reminded me that spring is coming. Hopefully with it, some rain. #LentenSnapshots2026 160
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 24/02/20266 - Road I first realize that winter is on its way when my chickens stop laying eggs. They notice the shorter days and lack of light before I do. 150
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 23/02/20265 - Journey It’s amazing to think about the journey our food takes. These elderberries came from trees far from me. They were harvested and dried. They were shipped, and arrived at my doorstep, and then I took them on another adventure as I turned them into juice. #LentenSnapshots2026 160
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Who could've guessed this encounter would begin an adventure of learning to trust each other? Eventually, we discovered Atticus is the sweetest, most loving cat. Pictures from those early days. #lentensnapshots2026 160
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 22/02/20264 - Encounter I am amazed by the way an encounter can take me by surprise and teach me something new along the way. I immediately think of Atticus. Who knew what we would encounter when we heard noises in our attic? 180
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 21/02/20263 - Pilgrimage Look for the light along the journey. #LentenSnapshots2026 1111
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026I offered up my longing for control and responsibility. We don’t always see what people are caring, but these longings are heavy. Many people are carrying a lot, and kindness is important. #LentenSnapshots2026 090
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 20/02/20262 - See At our Ash Wednesday service, we were invited to lay down our heavy longings. We wrote them on stones and then offered them to God. I flipped these upside down to protect the privacy of the people who offered them. 1131
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 18/02/2026They come before I think they’re ready. They arrive when the world isn’t safe. The tender green shoots push skyward, and I realize I’m not really worried about them; I’m understanding something about me. #LentenSnapshots2026 0100
April Fiet @aprilfiet.bsky.social · 18/02/20261 - Come I worry about the daffodils more than they do. I second guess their arrival, while they simply break forth. I hold my breath and wonder, “Is it too soon?” The daffodils don’t ask if it’s time, they just show up. 1163
