It's a new year but instead of resolutions I'm choosing this year to hone in on what God is calling me to do, be more intentional. What is God asking you to do in 2024?

As we enter into a new year we tend to create goals, lists, or even a "word" for the year, and are faced with anticipation of what it will bring, but sometimes a new year carries with it pain or loss from that the previous year held. Today we talk briefly about those struggles but shift our focus on the opportunities that a new year brings with it, including the gift of faith.

Life happens, busy seasons hit, but if we aren't careful we find ourselves pulling away from the things that actually spiritually strengthen us. This week I discuss the pitfall's of those time periods and how we truly find strength in those that surround us.
They say "timing is everything". I personally feel there is truth to that statement, especially when it's regarding God's timing. I learned that lesson again this week. (Scripture from the episode is from Joshua 10:1-14)
Jesus said, "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." But how can we really know what the truth is when there are so many distractions that make us question . . . what is truth?
Every ending in life, will inevitably guide us towards a new beginning; Ecclesiastes chapter 3.
People talk frequently about finding the "love of their life". I couldn't help but wonder if that statement was true, I mean is the "love of your life" something that can really be obtained? Do we even comprehend the depth of that statement, or is it just a phrase that gets thrown around hap heartedly? If it does exist, what happens to those of us that are in a marriage/relationship where that statement is the furthest thing from your mind . . . is there hope?

Nothing went as planned these last two weeks. I was faced with the brutal reality that my expectation was on a collision course with reality in a devastating way.

I recently put new sod down and it required consistent watering in order to grow and thrive as it was intended. I realized just like my new sod needs water so do we, both literally and spiritually. That's why Jesus tells us in John chapter 7 verse 38; rivers of living water will flow from our hearts. The question is, how are we tapping into that resource and what are we deciding to water on our own spiritual journey?
