I’ve always been a list person. There’s something deeply satisfying about putting pen to paper and checking off tasks one by one. It makes me feel grounded and productive. But recently, I joined the many who have fallen in love with the Skylight Calendar, a beautiful digital organizer that brings family schedules, lists, and reminders together in one place.
At first, I bought it simply because Costco had it on sale and it looked convenient. But as I started using it, I realized something much deeper—this calendar wasn’t just helping me stay on track. It was helping me live with greater spiritual intentionality.
In a world full of distractions, the Skylight Calendar has become one of my favorite Christian organization tools, quietly reminding me that a well-ordered life can reflect a well-ordered heart.
Not only is it a calendar but it’s a digital frame as well. I have pictures of our family but also many, many Bible verses and saying that are so perfect. Every time I see them. AND…..being able to have everything on my phone is super helpful, too. 👏
Faith, Order, and Everyday Life
The Bible reminds us that God is a God of order.
“But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:40 (NIV)
God designed creation with rhythm and structure—day and night, seasons, work and rest. When our lives reflect that order, we create space for peace and purpose.
For me, using a digital planner like the Skylight Calendar has become an act of stewardship. It helps me manage my time, keep up with our family’s appointments, and make room for moments of stillness and prayer. Organization isn’t about control—it’s about ensuring time is carved out to honor God.
How the Skylight Calendar Keeps My Days Spiritually Centered
Scheduling Time with God
One of the first things I added to my new calendar wasn’t an appointment or a reminder—it was time with God. I blocked off quiet moments in the morning for reading Scripture and journaling.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
Seeing “Quiet Time” show up on my calendar each day reminds me that devotion is not optional—it’s essential. Just as I wouldn’t skip an important meeting, I’ve learned not to skip that sacred time with Him. And anyone that knows me, knows I don’t like leaving something undone.
Managing Family Life with Grace
Our family has a lot happening right now—grown children, appointments, and a loved ones walking through medical challenges. The Skylight Calendar helps keep every detail in one place, from appointments to reminders. And even my husband has joined in the rhythm.
Having that structure allows me to approach each day with calm instead of chaos. It’s easier to respond with grace when I’m not overwhelmed by confusion.
When our days feel hectic, God’s peace can shine brightest through the simple order of our lives.
“The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.”
— Psalm 29:11 (NKJV)
Using Lists for Faith-Based Intentions
Lists have always been my part of my life, but now they’ve taken on a deeper purpose. Inside the Skylight Calendar, I’ve started keeping lists of:
- Prayer requests
- Sending Good Vibes when our family has appointments
- Simply checking on folks we have been concerned with.
Checking off those boxes feels more like an act of worship than productivity. It’s a small reminder that my days are filled with opportunities to reflect God’s love in simple ways.
From Chaos to Calm — Living Out Christian Stewardship
The Skylight Calendar has helped me see where my hours go. It reminds me to pause before filling my days to the brim, leaving room for God’s interruptions—the unplanned moments where His grace shows up.
Peace doesn’t come from a perfect plan; it comes from a heart aligned with God’s plan.
My Honest Thoughts on the Skylight Calendar
As someone who still loves paper lists, I didn’t expect to enjoy a digital calendar this much. But this simple tool has done more than organize my week—it’s helped me live more intentionally.
In this season, it’s become part of how I stay spiritually centered. It keeps me grounded, aware, and grateful. Every reminder and list now feels like a reflection of my desire to live out my faith in practical ways.
A Faith-Filled Takeaway
Whether you use a notebook, planner, or the Skylight Calendar, your time is sacred. Each appointment, task, and reminder is a small opportunity to bring glory to God.
When we structure our lives around what matters most—faith, family, service—we find the peace that passes understanding.
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
— Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
So as you plan your days, do it with purpose. Let your calendar become more than a to-do list—let it be a tool for living a life of worship.
Ready to bring more peace and purpose to your daily routine? Try viewing your schedule as sacred space—where appointments meet prayer, and productivity meets presence.
Start today by making time with God your first “meeting” of the day.
