Something to deeply think about…

Post of the Week from these parts here

Honestly, you sometimes don’t want New Year’s resolutions — like you need SOULutions — for a new you.

Finding this a lifeline:

The One (New, Easy) Practice that can change any year: when you want more than resolutions… when you want SOULutions for a new hope…a new you

the note that sparked a chain reaction  #BeTheGIFT

a place where everyone is welcomed in – and giving back is their bread and butter #BeTheGIFT

No matter what went down last year… or will go down in the coming year: The victorious King of the ages

 

 You are all giving the gift of breaking free to your people & it’s kinda blowing me away how you’re sharing breaking free— sharing the life transformation 

Grab the Gift of Breaking Free into the Abundant Life 

There is freedom from the chains that bind us: Jesus

…so we’re coming up on the cusp of a brand new year. Can be… intimidating. There will be resolutions & plans & words for the year. Needed ones, good ones, life-changing ones.

And just maybe… the Cliff Notes version of everything boils down to one plan, one word, one commitment, just to keep whispering this over & over again: Jesus. Time with Him, keeping company with Him, walking with Him, resting in Him, living in Him, growing in Him, changing in Him, becoming like Him. 

It’s okay… deep breath. When you find yourself in the real deep end — that’s when you know He’s real. You don’t have to get overwhelmed: you only have to hold on to one thing: JESUS. And the grace of it is? He’s already holding on to you.

New Year, New You: Just Jesus….

“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
