Seek Him first...

During the Christmas season, life can feel like a whirlwind. Whether you have a family, a business with employees and clients, or a busy personal life, there’s a lot of people and things you don’t want to forget.

I know I can easily feel pulled in different directions, not knowing where to begin or how to manage it all. It’s easy to get overwhelmed...

But here’s the good news, Reader: we don’t have to navigate this season in our own strength.

When Jesus faced busy seasons, He didn’t push harder or try to do it all on His own.

Instead, He leaned into His relationship with the Father, seeking strength and clarity from Him. He modeled what we’re called to do—prioritize the one thing that brings everything else into alignment.

Matthew 6:33 reminds us: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

What does it look like to seek His kingdom during the holiday chaos, Reader? For me, it means letting God reign as King in my heart, mind, and relationships. It means living as His image-bearer, reflecting His love, grace, and truth to those around me. And while that can feel like a big responsibility, it all starts with small, intentional steps:

Practical Steps to Confidence and Clarity:

1. Seek to understand God’s will through scripture—and act upon it.

• Spend time in His Word, but also look for ways to live it out through your actions. Let His truth shape how you engage with others and respond to challenges.

2. Serve others with humility.

Philippians 2:7 says that Jesus "made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant."

• During this season, imitate Christ; look for small, everyday opportunities to bless others—help a neighbor, offer a kind word, or encourage someone who’s struggling. Through these actions, we make God’s love tangible in the world.

3. Let go of misunderstandings, fear, and self-doubt.

• Rest in the truth that you are fully loved and valued by God. When you embrace His love, it frees you to reflect His image to the world.

This week’s podcast episode dives deeper into these principles, with a special focus on God’s heart for women, as most of my listeners are women. However, these truths apply to men as well!

It’s a powerful reminder of how precious we are in His sight and the incredible purpose He has given us to represent Him well—through both our actions and our hearts.

Take a moment to pause, seek Him first, and listen to this week's episode now, available to you before it airs on Friday!

Let's remember that God isn’t asking for more from us this season. Instead, He’s inviting us to rest in Him, to be present, and to represent Him with love and grace in our relationships. That’s how we find peace, purpose, and joy, even in the busiest of times.

Don't forget, I’m here to walk this journey with you!
