Connecting God's Word to Your Well-Being
A watched pot never boils. This old adage promotes an unappealing idea. It tells us if we keep an eye on what we’re hoping for, our hope is hollow. But there’s another perspective. When it comes to God’s promises, not only will the proverbial pot boil, but it will overflow...

Whether we’re enjoying a beautiful view, spending Whether we’re enjoying a beautiful view, spending time with someone we love, or making progress toward a goal, is anything distracting us from what God wants you to see?

Being present enables us to sense the moments God has for us, so we won’t miss the moments we need.

Prayer: Lord, help me to sense Your Presence, settle into Your will, and seize the moment You're showing me. In Jesus' name, amen!

As the year draws to a close, I’m reflecting on my As the year draws to a close, I’m reflecting on my one-word. Alignment. But aligning with God’s will is a lifelong process of following Christ’s teachings by putting His will above my own. After all, alignment involves making adjustments so that something functions optimally within its intended design. 

Surprisingly, my one word was both an invitation and an illumination. In my last post on the blog this year, I'm sharing lessons learned and the inspiration I found by God's grace. I pray you'll find encouragement in "5 Ways to End (or begin) the Year with Joy!" (Link in profile)

Abundant blessings to you and yours in the #newyear!
