The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

John 10:10

Today is another opportunity to gather with a community and celebrate that, in Christ, there is hope, there is freedom, there is healing and the One we can tether to is never changing.

Yesterday I was talking with a reader about this week’s posts. She asked me if I felt like I was thriving. I paused just for a second and there was that flash of doubt. That whisper that said, “she doesn’t think you are so you probably aren’t!” And then I said, “Yes. Yes, I do believe I am thriving.”

I don’t know what you need today to celebrate thriving or to move out of survival mode, but I invite you to take inventory. What holds you back? For me, I had to let go. And I held on like a child with a handful of candy…I was not going to let go without a fight. And twist and fight I did. But in the end, I let go. And when I did, I began to see life falling into place in a way I had not experienced.

You were made to thrive, not just survive!
