Family epiphany, spirit

Finally in 2025, we all got to visit Sperry Chalet together. It felt like a now-or-never proposition at this stage in our family’s life. Travel is not hereditary. Nor is family travel hereditary. i’ve never owned a new car. Saving money on car payments is my lifestyle choice.

Family epiphany?

Yes.

Life is hard.

Life is challenging.

Life is glorious.

Life is scary.

Life is your main job.

Forgiveness, patience, kindness, surrender, peace…these things are not genetically hereditary.

If your family has always had these traits as a family foundation, one family member isn’t mandated to live that way.

Conversely, if your family is tense, anxious, grudge-filled, resentful, impatient, one family member can break free and make their own emotional-lifestyle choices.

Getting close to God should be the easiest thing to do

Getting close to God should be the easiest thing to do because of God’s schedule. Think about it.

God is available 24/7.

Anywhere.

Anytime.

Day after day we put this off, until that small, persistent voice inside our head tells us getting close to God seems like it’s only for church going people.

Come on, seriously?

Will we focus on traditional or non-traditional?

Will we focus on traditional or non-traditional?

Heading to Word Camp Orlando in an hour.

Typically, attendees focus on which classes they’ll attend.

Eventually, we realize (particularly as a small business owner) that there’s a much bigger picture to these events.

Relationships.

Same with ‘organized Church’.

Strip away everything about Church and it comes down to one thing.

A deep, meaningful, intimate relationship with Jesus.

Or not.

God Will Never Ever Abandon Us. Never. Ever.

Sometimes the truth is a little fuzzy. usually because we’re too stinking busy to focus.

God will never ever abandon us. He doesn’t know how. The same way a loving Parent doesn’t know how to abandon their child.

Insight: Faith has no solid, rational explanation and will always remain a mystery that we either accept graciously, or ignore.
