A note to myself 10 years from now.

I've always loved writing letters. I think that it helps me process emotions, I suppose sort of like blogging over here does as well. So I wanted to write myself a letter, for future me to look back on.

It's time to renew and restore relationships.

 

"I want my love for God to be seen and measured by my love for people." - Bill Johnson

This morning I woke up and immediately I knew that I wanted to start my day off differently. Usually, it looks like making a cup of tea and watching Grey's Anatomy, or some other TV show to switch my brain off, while I scroll through the latest news happening throughout Finland or the world, before then starting working.

Today I decided that I am challenging myself this week to start my mornings in a bit of a different way. I decided that I want to start it with something productive or something that takes me forward spiritually, emotionally or mentally. So today I listened to a sermon by Bill Johnson about the season we are in.

It challenged me and I wanted to extend that challenge on to you as well.

Choose joy. Choose hope. Choose faith.

In these times of uncertainty it can be easy to get pulled into fear, anxiety or panic. But weirdly - I feel nothing but peace, confidence, gratitude and joy. I am viewing all of this as an opportunity to get back to the basics, to the core of why I do what I do and to shift my focus and attention back to the things that really matter.

Can I speak some truth to you for a moment?

I see your fear. I see your struggle. I see your turmoil and anguish. And I raise you a point that may not be easy to hear, but one that changed my life forever.
