Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Colossians 3:2 ESV

In order for us to experience revival, we need to reorient our minds to God’s Kingdom. As we focus on things above, we begin to see life with a fresh perspective. We desperately need God to revive our minds because it’s crucial for living life to the fullest.

Reflect – Do you experience thoughts that are not rooted in Kingdom? Pray for God to raise your awareness of thoughts that are not of Him and for the power to overcome them.

On a Personal Note – Finish Well

With a little over 30 days left in the year, it’s easy to put a pin in new ideas or projects until the new year. As tempting as enjoying the pause may be, there are some things that we have been called to do that require our action now.

We yield to the flesh instead of the Holy Spirit’s guidance. We abandon how we show up out of convenience; missing opportunities to share the Gospel or be the hands and feet of Christ. Simply put, we fail to finish well.

On a Personal Note – Being Seen: A Reflection on Hagar

El Roi. The God who sees me. When we talk about Hagar, we often refer to this tender exchange. This exact moment in the wilderness when she encounters God… when she accepts correction and instruction to return to a tense situation… when she receives the promise concerning the son in her womb… when she recognizes that she is seen and known by name. Yes, this is a pivotal moment, marked with such a significant name, and as I began to walk through Hagar’s story, to be seen, is so much deeper than watching someone visually.

On a Personal Note – Loss and the Goodness of God

“Are you going to try for another one?”

The ink on our marriage certificate wasn’t even dry before people began to ask when my husband and I were planning on having children. This seemingly innocent question was often met with ‘we don’t know’ outwardly, but inwardly it reinforced the shame of not being able to conceive a child.

I am the one in four.
