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.

Simply put, we fail to finish well.
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.
“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.
