"and let us consider how to spur one another on towards love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near" Hebrews 10:24-25
Jesus has called you by name...will you answer? The readings talked about when Jesus selected his 12 disciples to help him in his ministry. He had been in public service for just 3 years and was overwhelmed with the crowds that sought him. Instead of doing things by himself and isolating, he surrounded himself by good people with like minds that could help carry his load. In reflection, I have also had good people to help ease the burdens of my journey. I'm grateful to all those in my life that have led me closer to God and cheered me on when I couldn't take another step forward. I love that I have people I can go to in times of need and when I want to laugh, cry, or vent my frustrations. God didn't mean for us to be solitary. He created us to love others and share our lives, just as Jesus did in today's readings. So today I want to thank each of you who read my messages day in and day out. Who text me and encourage me to keep going when I really just want to quit, who let me bend their ears when I am seeking answers, when I am sad, and when I am whining. I thank God that he put so many unique ladies in my life to lead me to my purpose. Who do you have in your life that shares your burdens? Laughs with you? Counsels you? Thank them and God today for their support, love, and encouragement. We are truly blessed in every way.
Keep on trucking.
