Collection: MONTHLY MOTIVATIONS

Building a community.

In the chaos of the world right now, I feel that there is such a need for people to belong. There is such a need of love, support and understanding and actually, we all just need a hot cup of coffee, a good view and some friends. (and maybe some alone time)

This is your monthly encouragement to take some time for yourself. If I look around me, I only see hastiness. Rushing back and forth from one place to another. on repeat, every single day. Surely, this is not how we were created to live?

May this be your reminder that quiet time is so important. Yes, we need to build a community around us, but we also need to take note of where we are at the moment. Do you need some rest? Do you need more support? If you are a student, adolescent, mom, wife, teacher, lawyer, pastor etc. we need to evaluate where we are. How do I do that?

Simple answer: sit quietly. reflect on the last month. What did you do that you enjoyed? What went wrong and why? Where is your relationship with the Lord at? Do you have any new habits? These are important questions that you need to ask yourself. Invite the Lord into this time and ask him to reveal your current season to you. Although we need quiet time, we also need support. Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are these friends encouraging and do they have a positive influence on you?

In this next month, I challenge you to take one hour a week to spend some time alone. Start with yourself, before you seek fulfillment in your community. 

Alone with the Lord.

He is waiting for you, brave one.
