Jude 20-21 Beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith, pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.

I took these photos as we entered the new year and got thinking about Isaiah 43: 18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." What God showed me as I looked at the rose bush was most of last years growth and beauty had been pruned and now lifeless but there is still some beauty carrying over into the new year. I remember the goodness of God. I thank God for the beauty of past seasons, promises answered, goals accomplished, how he has created and formed me so far in my journey and especially for people He has brought into my life who are moving with me into this next season of time💕

We were journaling at our church prayer meeting, listening for words of direction for our church to be praying over the next year. I heard the word Gospel. Simple, right? Proclaim the Good News. 'Go Tell It On The Mountain'. (my favourite Christmas song as a child). I felt God saying we need to get serious about proclaiming that Jesus Christ 🎶has come🎵. We need to be prepared to share the GOSPEL in PEACE. Sharing the fullness of the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM; casting out demons, healing the sick, raising the dead. The TRUTH is.... it's LOVE speech and the world needs to hear it.

Hello beautiful women of NOW GYM, My name is Mary, and I am so grateful and excited to be here. I’ve been in a season of stretching, pruning, and rediscovering who I am in God.The Lord has been teaching me so much about identity, purpose and trusting His timing even when the path feels uncertain. One thing I know for sure is, God has not forgotten me.He’s been calling me back to alignment, back to confidence and back to His voice.And I believe being here is part of that divine nudge. I’m passionate about creativity, design, women’s voices, and kingdom purpose.I love learning, growing, and serving and I’m here to receive, to heal, and to be activated into who God is shaping me to be in this next chapter. I’m really looking forward to connecting, learning, and walking this journey with all of you.Thank you Christine for creating such a safe powerful space. Excited for what God is birthing in this season.Blessings to you all ✨
