It’s a New Year!

To Life Logo Final

We started a conversation about “Creating a Culture of Life” at an event we hosted in October with Danny Silk and Shawn Bolz.   Much of the conversation centered around learning relational skills.   That conversation continues this year as we learn how to practically love one another.

My resolution for the New Year is to laugh more and to really enjoy family and  friends that God has put in my life.    I am committed to learning new relational skills so that I don’t repeat mistakes of the past. 

Jeremiah 6:16 exhorts us to ask for the ancient paths…..so that we can find rest for our souls.    Jeremiah also wrote that the shepherds took people from hill to mountain, but they never brought them to their resting place.   As shepherds, we have  been guilty of taking people from “hype to hype,”  without bringing them to a place of rest.

How do we find rest, peace and joy?   We ask for the ancient paths and walk in them.   In the Hebraic culture, family and relationships are very important.  I believe that being a part of a loving, safe community is a need that we all share.  It will bring healing to our souls.

Zechariah wrote about the prophet being “wounded in the house of his friends.”    The conversation will continue this year on how to create a safe, loving environment where we can be healed and find rest for our souls.   Let’s be patient with one another as we journey together to that place.
