The chatter in our heads and the "to-do" list a mile long can sometimes get in the way of our peace and make us feel like we are going through life on our own power. Getting alone and still in a quiet time with God can settle our thoughts and our emotions and reconnect us to the only true source of peace and strength for what's ahead. Join us today as we talk about Stillness, Thankfulness, Worship, Meditation on Scripture, and Prayer, even by carving out just five minutes a day to start learning how to begin the shift within yourself.

Each year has good and bad in it, and 2020 was no exception. However, God's presence and mercies are with us, and can help us through the difficulties, sustain us when we need it, and open up amazing things for us that we can't even imagine. Reflect on the lessons learned, grieve the losses, and celebrate the faithfulness and joys of 2020, and get ready to move into 2021 and to embrace the journey.

God isn't some big bully in the sky. He is a loving, caring, gracious God who loves us, forgives us, and blesses us beyond what we deserve.
