Sunday is usually a day of reflection and restoration..you’ve worked all week ..played on Saturday and finally Sunday is a time to refocus and refresh for the week ahead..honestly to me time seems to slow down just a tad..and it maybe because mentally I feel the break from the demands..

We personally spend some of our time in church because we know that’s the foundation of who we are..and, yes I have nodded in church on occasion..lol..but, I account it to the fact the church is where you are able to go to put down those weights of the busy week..to leave the things at the door..and allow God to shower you with His love in a community that has come together to worship Him..

We’ve spent the last six days pushing, striving, pursuing, and maintaining and now we set aside this day to communicate even the more with the One who restores our soul..that in itself is peaceful..there is no greater experience than to know God for yourself..it’s nothing you can really put into words..you have to embody it personally..

Thinking of the week ahead..it does us no good to go ahead and plan for failure when we have the possibility for greatness..every second of every day can be greater than the last..it is NEVER to late until the clock that is our lives..stops..that forgiveness we should have given is still ours to give..that love that we should share is still ours to share..that phone call, text message or even letter is still in our authority to direct it towards it’s destination..

How wonderful and powerful is it to know our lives are made up of our choices ..what we don’t like it or agree with it..we can change it..we don’t have to stay or except what we don’t want..this isn’t just about being positive..but. all about knowing our position…as a Christian the importance of our walk with Christ is to know who we are in Him and what He has equipped us to be able to do..we have a NO LIMITS God!

Let’s think of it in terms of a box..we use boxes for our belongings..to carry our life or store our life..we pack those things with care for the most part..we ship them ahead of us or we take them along with us..we then unpack those things and incorporate them into our current situations or we leave them in that box..store that box away and revisit or forget about them..now, imagine those things being our talents, gifts and purposes..we either showcase those things, revisit or stick them in the attics of our minds and allow them to become dusty and full of cobwebs..we each have purpose that’s sitting in a box in the corners of our minds..taped up..with bold handwriting..”FRAGILE..OPEN IMMEDIATELY ” and yet still year after year we don’t..

Instead we push it further and further back into the dark abyss..underneath the hopes, dreams, inspiration, and goals boxes..begging to be opened..begging to be explored once again..maybe given a face lift to bring it into the new year..and yes it’s yours..yours to share with the world..yours to take throughout life and own..yours to enjoy because God has given it to you..

Let’s not hoard what we have gracefully been given..let’s not bitterly look at those who are living their best life by doing so..let’s rip that tape off..tear open that box (because we’re not storing away these things again) and proudly display who we are and what we were created to be.. Box Free 📦🚫
