“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”  2 Chronicles 16:9

Fully – completely: to the greatest extent possible or required

Committed – devoted: devoted to somebody or something such as a cause or relationship

The Lord’s eyes range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully, completely, to the greatest extent possible, committed to relationship with Him. As 2019 draws to a close, I must say that 2019 was difficult at best for me. Now, certainly there were incredible things that happened particularly related to Hope Choice and all that the Lord is doing in and through us. But growth and a broader scope in ministry, the widening of the tent pegs, so to speak, often requires much energy, persistence, and sweat. Personally, 2019 was difficult because we moved my oldest son and his family to Mississippi, Jake finished his junior year of college, and my Madi began her years at Texas A&M as well.  All of my now adult children are nine plus hours away and Brian and I are experiencing a new normal. It’s wonderful and awful all at the same time.

As I approach 2020, the deepest cry of my heart is to be fully committed to relationship with the Father and that He would strengthen me. In order for me to stop busy moments from becoming busy hours and busy hours becoming busy days and weeks that evaporate as I just do the next thing in front of me…I am choosing to make adjustments on purpose. I am asking the Lord to point out things that I need to focus on and change in order to improve my personal life, my spiritual depth and my family relationships. If any of this is striking a chord with you, I want to invite you to join the Candy Gibbs 2020 Jumpstart group on Facebook.

We started the Jumpstart group in 2019 and what an encouragement it was to me. It was a great way for me to connect with other believers who are wanting to make changes that are life altering, but who also could use some encouragement along the way. I want to invite you to search Facebook for Candy Gibbs 2020 Jumpstart and ask to join! We have a form that you can use to help you get focused and then we start 2020 on purpose!!  Fully committed.

Blessings! Let’s Go!
