#TodayIWill Meditate on the fact that God is my source.
I will give thanks for the ways he's provided for me and my family. I will seek God on how to be a faithful steward over all the resources God has provided.

"Try not to view your family gatherings as a Mission Field, but rather, an Invitation to know Christ" -N.S.
#TodayIWill try to find a middle ground and meet my family member there with grace/patience/love, letting the Holy Spirit do the rest.

#TodayIWill ask myself:
Who is God shaping me to be?
What does God want to accomplish through me?
What do I believe is God’s vision for my life this year?
Be sure to write it down so you can have something to refer to.

#TodayIWill Make time! Consider waking up 10 mins earlier than usual. Use travel time for intimate worship. While doing daily tasks around the house. Find what works for you. Intentional time with God builds the relationship you desire with Him.

These are the prayer focuses, along with the SOAP study method. Let's commit to strengthening ourselves spiritually throughout this process, making His presence first, and allowing the Holy Spirit to do a great work within us.
#2021fast#HHstrong#SOAP
We must be open and willing to shift, pivot, and move in a different way. Sometimes God will direct us in another direction in order to experience the fullness of what he has for us.

Let's truly evaluate what moves us, and decide not to be led by our emotions. God should be our only leader. Not our circumstances, not our mistakes, not our reservations. God alone! We can only be led BY Him if we spend time WITH Him.

When we are consistently in His presence, He pours out so much that we don't even have room to receive it all. There's no choice but for it to spill into the lives of those around us, and to bleed into ever aspect of our lives.

Religion and tradition are taught, but relationship is earned through personal interaction with God. God values your relationship with Him much more than your ability to maintain tradition. Relationship only comes in His presence.

2020 was definitely a year of exposure. One of the things God exposed was how the church (at large) relies on traditions more than establishing actual personal relationship with Him. This was never his intent. We need to make His presence first.
