Hello, Twyla here with a quick message. To each of you who have listened to an episode of The Uncommon Normal—to each of you are embracing missional living in your neighborhood in small, everyday ways—to each of you who are leaning into proximity with God and inviting others near you to really get to know you—to each of you who have taken baby steps though you’ve felt imperfectly ready—keep going. Even when your steps feel small, they are not insignificant. You are not insignificant—to God or to your neighbors.

 

I will be taking a break from podcast, but you can still find me in all the other places. Every week there will continue to be new content to encourage you to keep leaning into this missional life on the blog. Find me at www.theuncommonnormal.com.

 

If you’re not yet part of my email tribe, I’d love for you to join me! I send a note on Tuesday nights to my email friends share about all the latest things. My email friends also get free access to everything in the For You library, which includes some goodies like an entire week of devotions from my devotional, Cultivating a Missional Life: A 30-Day Devotional to Gently Help You Open Your Heart, Home, and Life to Your Neighbors, a printable of The Uncommon Normal manifesto, and a field guide to neighborhood missional living.

 

Did you know I also host a gratitude series, Begin Within: A Gratitude Series, on The Uncommon Normal? My vision behind the series is to inspire year-round gratitude that will impact not your life, but the lives of your family, friends, and neighbors too. Check it out while you’re visiting the blog, and if you’d like the gratitude stories to land in your inbox every week, you can let me know there as well.

 

Before I sign off, I wanted to take another opportunity to pray a blessing over you.

 

May you know how very loved you are, and how with-you and for-you and all-around-you God is. May you always find yourself at home in His embrace, and from the near-Him vantage point, you will learn to adopt His heartbeat and point all glory to Him through all you do and say. May you remember His greatness when you feel small and His gentleness when you feel less than ready. May you lean into Him and into each next baby step into neighborhood missional living. May you remember always that the direction matters much more than the pace. This I pray in the precious and holy name of Jesus. Amen.
