Wishing you the happiest New Year’s Day!
May you feel peace in knowing that you are a new creation in Christ, that He will renew your heart and offer fresh mercies every day. May you resist the temptation to give into the pressure of a blank calendar and lofty resolutions. May you remember that you are more than any goal met, any resolution kept, any bullet list checked. You are loved, just as you are.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Happy New Year, friends!

Bev @ Walking Well With God says
Dear (in)courage friends,
May we ALL live like the new creatures that we are. No striving, earning, trying, perfecting needed….it is finished. Christ came for us and died for us so that, if we accept that gift, we are seen as perfect through the veil of Jesus’ blood. Just as we came to the manger with all our baggage, may we come to the cross and lay it all down and KNOW we are loved….just as we are! Happy New Year friends!!
Blessings,
Bev xx

In Courage,
We need to stop trying to fill all our time with “good works”. Quit striving to earn anything from God. He gives His love & great gifts freely. I got to be a manger tramp & behold the magnificent there. Now I come to the cross & see a different type of elegant beauty done just for me. I am in awe of His great love for me that He would leave the splendor of Heaven & come to broken Earth to die a horrible death for us. I pray we all have a blessed & great 2019!!
Blessings 🙂

Happy New Year Everyone… I am ready for a new year of hope, joy, peace and love. No hard to reach goals this year, just remembering to find joy in every day given to us. So thankful for all those who had given me encouragement and understanding even when I did not make sense. Whatever this year takes us on, we know God will always be right there beside us walking us through. A huge Thank You to all of the (in)courage staff. You all are definitely a lifesaver to me and your continued encouragement is so greatly appreciated….
