We are finishing 2021 in quarantine like so many others. One of the many things this year has taught me is where I look matters. And for quite some time this year my eyes have been focused on the unknowns, the uncertainties, etc. Yet these past five days in quarantine have reminded me that there will always be wind and waves in life, yet we’re not meant to stare at the waves and wind, but above them.

And so as we close out this unique year, I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

As we enter this New Year, 2022, may we give thanks for another year. May we aim to seek God first this year, above the wind and waves of the unknowns and uncertainties. For we will never have the peace we desire when we are focused on struggle. Yet we will find peace when we look to God, who is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.

Cheers friends to a year of wellness, health, peace, blessings and keeping our eyes fixed above our circumstances, on God.

Happy New Year!

With love and hope,

Shawn
