1st Sunday of Advent

We humans change one step at a time - it's just the way we're wired.  And once we've made a change that tends to become the new normal and we stick to it,  for better or for worse.  This Advent season God wants to work in your life in new and powerful ways!  But for that change to occur, there is a requirement: DAILY prayer and reflection.  To give Jesus the space He needs in our lives and minds and hearts to work out His grace within us requires the daily practice of openness to God in prayer and reflection.  One day a week is okay, 2 days is all right, 3 is getting better...but if we're wondering why we've plateaued and not much seems to be changing or growing in our spiritual life, it's because God needs our daily permission to work His good grace in us, one step at a time!
