“Reclaim” is my word for this year and it’s fun to watch as the little things start coming about. Reclaim means to retrieve or recover. It also means to cultivate.
We can see that it is a new season for us. Things are shifting and changing. It’s been over a year since we moved on from “Agape House” a ministry helping kids in a small town near us. They come in on Wednesdays after school, get fed a meal, and have a worship. It’s a great place and God has helped many troubled kids that have come through the doors.
It was time for other things for us at and we went and got trained in Texas and also got freedom for ourselves in Texas from life traumas and hurts that we’ve been through.
After I heard Terri Savelle Foy’s Youtube video the earlier this week, I knew that I needed to vamp up my exercise program, I was starting to lag a bit.
We just got a new Planet Fitness in our area and Marty and I decided to stop procrastinating and go join. We went in and did just that!
What I have seen is that when I take a drastic action, things start flowing in. The next day I got a text that someone from Agape House wanted to meet and talk to us. We had all kinds of thoughts and were real curious about it.
Finally the day came to talk to them and they presented their need. A young boy 13 is in need, he needs someone to come alongside of him and just “love” him. Yes we can do that! We thought we would have to pray and think about what they needed us to do, but, “Yes!” What a blessing and an honor to be approached with this.
This is where my word Reclaim comes into play. This place is a place that is very dear to my heart. We get to go back and reclaim some territory there.
Any seeds that we sow are never wasted. Even any seeds we sow into our own lives are never wasted in helping other lives. I love the way it works. When we make a move to get out of our own stuck place and it leads to getting others unstuck every time! It’s not all about us it’s about helping others!
Let’s try to get ourselves in a strong place so we can help others! Think about your word for this year… have you picked one? How can it line up with your superpower?
Can’t make this stuff up!
It’s so fun!
You can do this too!
See you soon!
