Everyone is busy making lists of what they want to accomplish in this new year. As I sit this morning staring a the verse on this page of my journal {Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. Deuteronomy 29:9} and think about all that God did for me in 2022 and what He has instore for me in 2023. We can make all the plans and promises to ourselves that we want, but I was reminded last night if we don't stop fighting God's path for our lives, we stop the daily blessings He gives us.

Be kind to others regardless of how you are treated by the world. If you feel led to plant roots, do so and treat the land well, it will take care of you. If the path is leading you to the unknown, have Faith and take the steps. We all have spiritual gifts. Find yours and use it for Good.
