With Thanksgiving over and Christmas on the horizon, we all become busier than ever! Running around decorating the house, shopping for gifts, sending out Christmas cards, the whole shabang! But sometimes because of this bustling time, we lose sight of one important thing: To slow down and relax. Why is this important? Because we need to value the time we have!

In a world full of hurt, it can be easy to fall into distrust and cynicism. You know too much at times. You’ve experienced heartbreak, betrayal, and backstabbing. You’ve had people let you down, even though you thought they’d support you. You understand that not all people will succeed despite their good intentions and willpower. Life is rough and you may feel like you are stuck in a hurricane with no way out. But it doesn’t have to be this way and you can start heading towards renewal as there is an antidote! What is it?

Life can be full of obstacles and sinkholes. Living in a broken world isn’t easy and can cause us to stumble as we try to walk the narrow road, leaving us to wonder what we are even doing at times. But we must always remember that God is for us and not against us, that he is who we depend on in the midst of troubles!
