It's exciting to stand on the threshold of an entirely NEW YEAR! Yay! It means a fresh start - new adventures, challenges and opportunities! Many people make Resolutions or set goals for the year ahead ... do you have any - like maybe resolving to order every drink on the Starbucks Menu or maybe Flamingo-ing a friend’s yard for their birthday or maybe trying to perfect your charcuterie board skills?! Ah - to each their own!
Most often resolutions are about diet and exercise for some kind of personal development. It's totally normal to want to grow in some area of our lives - growth is healthy. It's not always easy but it's healthy. So as you consider the year ahead - what will you become?
Where might faith and God fit in?
Ever wonder what God might want for you this year? Many people answer that question with "He wants me to stay out of trouble or not make the same mistakes as last year" ... and while there's a bit of truth to those statements - they aren't really at the top of God's desires for you.
That kind of approach to faith - is really just religion and it dumbs Christianity down into behaviour modification instead of a dynamic relationship with our creator! During this two week series we're going to engage in a conversation about what God has already been doing in you and how His desire isn't to keep you from something but to complete something in you!
