Some Inspiration for the Day

The question is not "How am I to find God?" but "How am I to let myself be found by him?" The question is not "How am I to know God?" but "How am I to let myself be known by God?" And, finally, the question is not "How am I to love God?" but "How am I to let myself be loved by God?" God is looking into the distance for me, trying to find me, and longing to bring me home.
--Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996)

Happy Tuesday in the New Year!

Hey everyone, Happy New Year! I can't believe it's been a decade. Time does fly. Well, being a new year and all, people out there have resolutions. I like to make a list of things I would like to do and improve/change for the new year. After reading an article on Boundless, I thought it would be good idea to share these questions from the article...give you some thought on what you desire to see for yourself in the new year. Here goes:

• What would you like to have accomplished?
• How can you improve your relationships, school work, or professional work?
• What purchases would you like to make?
• Where would you like to travel?
• What growth/change would you like to see in your spiritual life, professional life, social life, and physical well-being?
• What things do you enjoy most; what are your favorite things?
• What things do you wish you could stop doing?
  

Check out this devotional chicas!

There is a new devotional for young women in their 20's called She Seeks! I look forward to reading it every Monday. I'm glad that there is sound spiritual advice and encouragement that young women can relate to. Today's focus was on mentoring young girls. I think it is important to be an example to young girls. They need someone that has been at that age not too long ago to show them the way. Being the oldest of five siblings, my sisters and brother are definitely looking up to me, especially my youngest sister who is in the sixth grade. Just the other day, she attempted to wear her hair like mine, too cute! I encourage you to check it out and include it in your quiet time (personal time with God).
