What do you do in order to get refreshed or rejuvenated? It may be getting that extra sleep you so badly need. Or, perhaps you decide to "unplug" from social media, computer work, and television for a period of time. Perhaps reading a good book stimulates and refreshes you. Or, if you are a strong extrovert, you get refreshed by spending time with friends and family. Perhaps, working out with some kind of exercise program gives you renewed energy.
As we all experience there is a balance to life- the challenge to balance work and family, work and your personal life. I am convinced that achieving a balance is simply an impossible task. It is more like a challenge to navigate life, focusing on the top priorities of our life
Beginning a new year is a great time to reflect on what your priorities are and how you can hold on to these as you navigate the year ahead. Whether it is practicing your faith, working out, seeking more fulfillment in your job, having more fun with friends, serving others in need by volunteering, the new year is a great time to get refreshed and to chart your course for the year ahead.
My hope and prayer is that God will guide you in this year ahead to help you navigate the waters of this world. And, I hope God will give you the peace and inner strength to do so.
Peace,
-Pastor Durk Peterson
