Welcome 2019!
Happy New Year!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
I, for one, am exhausted! LOL On top of the holidays, the end of December also comes with birthdays for two of my teenage daughters!! While I enjoyed the holidays immensely, I am really happy to be getting back to life as normal!
There are some exciting things happening for our family this year and I cannot wait to share each of them with you when the time is right!!
My Word for 2019
One of the things I see a lot of people doing is choosing a word for the new year! I chose the word "rest".
I have anxiety and I have a tendency to not only worry but to try to handle things and fix them! I need to learn to just rest in the knowledge that God has it all under control and I can just breathe and not feel I have to deal with everything and strive to fix everything and I don't need to worry about things that haven't even happened yet (imaginings!!)
As I mentioned in December's Newsletter I am also excited because I have decided to focus on goals in 2019!
As a blogger, it can be all too easy to focus on your ministry and lose focus of what you need to be doing for yourself! It is the same if you are a parent, a business owner...we can let our own needs slide.
We need to look out for our own faith health as well and so I am setting goals to help me to focus on that so that I don't neglect my own growth. It is like the airplane speech...put the mask on yourself before assisting others.
Arabah Joy's Grace Goals is one of the ways I am doing that! And it is never too late to jump in!
Grace Goals
I made the (very) small investment into Arabah Joy's Grace Goals program!
It doesn't just help you focus on your spiritual goals, but life goals as well! Whether that be getting healthy, spending more time with family, anything!
Through a series of step-by-step workshops and exercises, Grace Goals will show you how to work in conjunction with the Spirit of God to fulfill the desires He’s placed in your heart. It's a biblical process for total life transformation.
I cannot recommend it enough and I am so excited to get to work on it!!
Dwelling in the presence of the Lord is important for us. It's keeping our minds on the grace of God which wss the promise unto us. All things pertaining to life and godliness. "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (King James Bible, 1769/2017, 2 Peter 1:3). Knowing who grace made us to be let us stand in faith. Grace made us the righteousness of God and will always be enough for us. Grace saved the world from God's wrath which revealed His profound love for us. "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10). I encourage you to focus on the grace of God today which is Christ (the only begotten son). Receive Him in your heart as Lord and Savior today and accept your salvation (eternal life...
