Joy and I were walking along a rainy road the other day. We came upon a hidden concrete, roughly carved plaque with the words , “All we have to decide is what to do with a time that is given us.” Gandalf.
We each have a commodity of time to invest our lives. What does it mean to invest them in all that is good and true and beautiful? I spent some time in the past few days pondering at the foundational level what it meant for me to live forward into the life I believe God has designed for me. What does it mean to live with bold faith?
I share some of my foundational goals in my blog post and in my podcast today. What does it mean to own my life at this juncture if my life. I would love to know some of your goals and purposes. I shared some of my thoughts in my podcast today. I would be so honored if you would join me there!❤️ and do tell me what you have planned for the direction of your year.🌺❤️

Let the word of [q]Christ richly dwell within you, [r]with all wisdom teaching and admonishing [s]one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
