Dear Friends,

Are we already almost halfway through January???!!! Time continues to fly by and I am still reflecting on what 2026 will bring. Sometimes the busyness of the holidays does not let us take time to pause and listen for God’s message and inspiration in our lives.

I read a perspective in the ANTN (Affiliated New Thought Network) newsletter by my friend Rev. Dr. Michele Whittington, and her thoughts made so much sense. Why RUSH into January trying desperately to keep some resolutions. Why not wait and ALLOW what is yours to do, to unfold in Gods way and timing.

She says.”January is no longer the old year, and not fully the new. It sits between the two … like a doorway we haven’t yet crossed.This in-between space is akin to a threshold: a place of reflection as well as a place of deep potential. This threshold invites us to pause, to notice and to honor what has been before we step forward.’Rather than demanding immediate forward movement into the new year,I plan to let January be a time for reflection on some important questions.”

Dr. Michele’s questions to pray and meditate on throughout this month are:

• What no longer fits the person I am becoming?
• What is ready to be laid down with gratitude?
• What is trying to take shape?
• And perhaps most importantly, what am I willing to trust without yet seeing the full path?”

Besides taking time in the morning during your prayer and meditation time, ask these questions before you go to bed. Allow your Dreams to reveal the answers
