Good Morning,
You have probably been wondering where we have been the last few days. I had some computer issues and it was with the "Geeks" for a few days. It has been a trying time for me, but I think we are back in business now.
Today's writing is something written by Christine Caine that I borrowed because it was such a timely writing and topic. Christine wrote, "Our lives become fuller and richer when we live bigger—when we live more generously, more joyfully, more graciously, more selflessly. Our God provides more than enough, so we don’t have to live small and clutch at what we have."

May today be a part of the new beginnings that you are looking for and working on, and may your new beginning be great!
I totally appreciate the talent of Christine Caine. It is a pleasure to follow her work that the Lord is a part of.
God bless,

Today's Devotional
"New Beginnings"
Christine Caine
I love new beginnings. The start of a new year always inspires me to take an honest look at every aspect of my life and schedule and make any necessary adjustments. My desire is to stay on the path God has laid out before me, faithfully navigating the road ahead.
God wants us all to stay on course, fulfilling the purposes and plans he created for us. He doesn’t want our effectiveness to be restricted by any limitations—but rather, he intends to unleash us and all our potential into our Kingdom purpose.
Remember Paul’s message to the Corinthians? He said...
I long for you to enter
this wide-open, spacious life.
We didn’t fence you in.
The smallness you feel
comes from within you.
Your lives aren’t small, but
you’re living them in a small way…
you’re living them in a small way…
Open up your lives.
Live openly and expansively!”
Live openly and expansively!”
(2 Corinthians 6:11-13, MSG)
Our lives become fuller and richer when we live bigger—when we live more generously, more joyfully, more graciously, more selflessly. Our God provides more than enough, so we don’t have to live small and clutch at what we have.
Even in difficult seasons, we can press on because we know Jesus, whose Spirit is within us, is greater than anything the world can throw at us. In Him, we can refocus our sight and thoughts to be above the circumstances we’re facing. We can rest in the fact that the real battle of overcoming has already been won.
After all, God has not called us to live a life that asks, “How little?”, but “How much? How far? How big? How wide?” Our God is able to do far greater than anything we can ask or imagine. So let’s not think in minimums. This year, choose to go above and beyond the minimum requirements so that you can have maximum impact for God’s Kingdom and His glory!Shared From a writing by
