Hello everyone, and Happy New Year (18 days late). This year so far has been a whirlwind. This weekend has been the first time I feel like I’ve actually taken a breath and it has been much needed. Every year, I pick a verse that I feel led to be my verse for the year and share on the blog. My verse this year is 1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)—
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
Over the past couple of years, I feel like God has blessed us in some pretty profound and unique ways, and I want to make sure I’m stewarding that well.
I’m not going to lie, I love the idea of a fresh start. It doesn’t have to be at the beginning of the year either. It can be in June for all I care, so I always get excited about the possibilities of what lies ahead. Here are three main intentions I want to carry with me this year—
To make vision and mission-based decisions rather than fear based decisions.
To love rather than judge; to serve rather than criticize.
To see as God sees, so I can do as He says.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Also—here’s my verse for 2020, and 2019, and 2018.
