No more New Years Resolutions. Been there done that, years of yo-yo dieting, the clothes hanging on the exercise equipment and the new running shoes under the bed. All of these serve as reminders that our bodies are forever changing. Do we notice or are we in denial?

Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that there is ‘A Time for Everything’ and as we anticipate what the coming year will hold, let’s approach it by releasing what is not working, making the time to find what is best for us and hold onto it with both hands.



Let’s have a BLESSED NEW YEAR on purpose!

    Amen, Sheri! I was thinking the same thing the other when the words "New Years Resolutions" came up. I have failed every time I try to set one. 20 is about me be happy and not putting so much pressure on my self. I'm letting go of ideals and goals that God never meant for me to hold on to!!

    Encouraging word for all of us!

Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope

The Courage of the Queen The other night I was watching the 2006 movie, "One Night With The King."   This movie portrays the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, who goes on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia, and saves the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes. Esther WAS in a place of oppression, but when she went to the palace she was given the second most honored position in the kingdom.  Though she had no idea what lied ahead of her, she all the same; did what was necessary to become the very person that was used to deliver her people. Imagine the preparation and courage that was needed ‘For Such A Time As This.’  You will find that she took an entire year to prepare for her, ‘One Night With The King. "                        Preparation is defined as the action or process of making something ready for use or service or of getting ready for some oc
