Where Are You?

It's so easy to go through an entire day and never take the time to stop and focus on something deeper, something...soulful, so I'm trying to start off the new year by doing better about that.

I’ve started reading a daily devotional series from my church. This includes daily scripture readings with a key phrase, a reflection, and a couple of questions.

Today’s key phrase definitely caught my attention: "Where are you?" from Genesis 3:9.

Definitely the question of the year for me.

Definitely made me think.

• Where am I? 
• Where am I with myself? 
• Where am I with others? 
• Where am I with God? 
• Where am I in life?

Definitely a question to ponder as you start a new year: Where are you?

• Are you where you want to be?
• Do you want to change anything this year?
• Do you honestly NEED to change anything this year?

Hopefully, there are things that you want to keep the same this year. 

Hopefully, you are going to be true to yourself this year. If you're like me, it's second-nature to want to be a people-pleaser, but the older that I get the more I realize that authenticity is one of the most important things that I can do for myself.

However, is there anything that you actually DO need to change this year?

• Do you need to work on rebuilding relationships that you've allowed to weaken?
• Do you need to work on improving your health?
• Do you need to work more on the whole God-thing…whatever that might be for you?
• Do you need to stand up for people/places/things that you feel are being mistreated?
• Do you need to make personal decisions that might cause some major changes in your life?

Where are YOU right now?
