This year's theme is A Beautiful Mess. Ephesians 2:10
"For we are God's Masterpiece. He has created us a new in Christ Jesus, so
we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
Every day I am sure
you struggle with everything that should be done, needs to be done, and what actually
gets done. Whether it is on a personal level, family, domestic level (cleaning
that bathroom), or spiritual level. We all struggle with the everyday messes.
The things that we may just feel embarrassed by. Our ponytail hair style, lack
of make-up, or love of yoga pants when we go to the grocery store. Yeah, I know, I am there too.
We tend to focus on the mom or family that has it all
together. That don't seem to have any messes just the beautiful part. Here is a
little secret; we all have a mess somewhere, some of us keep it hidden very
well, but there are things that we would like to or need to change about
ourselves.
This year we are going to take a look at the beauty. These
"messes" teach us there is
something beautiful in every mess. It could be a lesson we learned, a friend we
made, or a God Moment. This a time to just
let go and be yourself. We don't mind if you wear your yoga pants, don't fix
your hair, and we don't care if your house is clean.
We are excited to start this year with old and new friends.
If you would like the theme book for this year is "The Artist's Daughter:
A Memoir" by Alexandra Kuykendall . You are encouraged to read the book.
See you soon.
