Day 7 of 60 . . . How is it going?

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
    my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
    pour out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62:5-8

Just checking in on how your 60 Day Challenge is going.  I was so encouraged this past week to see people sharing their plans and encouraging others to join them.  I loved all the plans many of you shared with me as they reflect the intentional conversations within families.  It is not too late to join the challenge this week!   

We are meant to live in relationship and community with one another.  It isn't anything society dictates.  It is how God designed us from the very beginning. Yet living in community, even a community of believers, can be challenging and difficult.   Don't give up on it though.  As Psalm 62 reminds us our first and foremost relationship is with GOD who is our refuge in times of trouble, anxiety and fear.  Reconnect with your first relationship with God to be recharged to engage in the greater community.

Have a great week!
