Mindful

“In charting our course to the future, we are mindful of our path from the past.” (Brad Henry)

Those who are devoted to God will flourish like budding date-palm trees;
    they will grow strong and tall like cedars in Lebanon.
13 Those planted in the house of the Eternal
    will thrive in the courts of our God.
14 They will bear fruit into old age;
    even in winter, they will be green and full of sap
15 To display that the Eternal is righteous.
    He is my rock, and there is no shadow of evil in Him.
(Psalm 92:12-15, VOICE)

2019: Growing long, strong, and young

Growing longer (and further) in our witness for Christ into all parts of the world)

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world” (C.S. Lewis)

Growing stronger in our faith as we tell others of Jesus

“Our faith becomes stronger as we express it; a growing faith is a sharing faith.” (Billy Graham)

Growing younger and staying vital in wherever the Heavenly Father places you

“The greatest adventure is a life spent serving and loving others.” (Recklessly Alive)

“Charting is a little like surfing. You don’t have to know a lot about the physics of tides, resonance, and fluid dynamics in order to catch a good wave. You just have to be able to sense when it’s happening and then have the drive to act at the right time.” (Ed Seykota) [i]
