Hey friend,
As we start a new week and a new month, I thought June would be the perfect time for a midyear reset. It's a great moment to take stock of the past six months and plan how we want to live the next six.
Reflection is key to living well, and allowing yourself to beegin again is a wonderful gift you can give to yourself.
I'm also excited to share our new study for June, where we'll explore how to make faith our new story and transform our lives from fear to faith.
June Reset#1: The Habit of Reflection
A year can fly by, with the kids growing up so quickly ---
yet there's a profound beauty in simply waking up and slowing down to appreciate life ---
To truly savour it, we need to pause and cherish the moments filled with meaning.
During our family's busiest year, I remind myself:
Step off the treadmill of busyness and trust God through the different seasons of life.
Halfway through the year, I am committed to making course corrections -- and it begins with cultivating the habit of reflection -- the kindest, most compassionate thing we can do for ourselves mid-year.
June Reset#2: Disconnect to Truly Connect
In an age of constant connectivity, we can easily become disconnected from God and from each other. When we turn to Facebook before turning our face to the Book—the Word of God—or become more consumed with Hollywood news than the Gospel of Good News, we neglect the God who longs to shape the story of our lives.
Being still allows us to listen and be attentive, preventing us from being swept back into the daily grind.
When we are courageous enough to embrace stillness, we learn about ourselves and about our God.
Be still, and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10
June Reset #3: Find Soul Rest
In my work with therapy clients, I'm reminded of my own humanity, which is far from glamorous, and yet it could be truly glorious.
The search for the life we desire doesn't actually stem from achievements, appearances, associations, or acquisitions.
True rest is found when we rest our case in Christ and discovering this is finding our true place in life.
Your Mid-Year Mission
As we start a new midyear, what do you recognise your next chapter to be? What are you sensing yourself called to do? What excites you, and what's started stalling and becoming stagnant in your life?
You may find yourself standing on the edge of a new, but undefined horizon. Could a new adventure be awaiting you? One in which the storylines are orchestrated by God for you?
Imagine the Possibilities be with God as the Author of your story!
Our June Study - Write Your Story of Faith
We're kicking off a new study on crafting your story of faith, delving into Numbers 13 where the 12 spies explore the promised land.
This narrative serves as a powerful illustration of faith versus fear, offering insights into the next chapter of our own stories.
At times, we've clung to our own interpretations of reality for so long that the concept of faith may feel unfamiliar.
However, God stands ready to usher in a new chapter in our lives. This transformation isn't just about cognitive restructuring; it's a complete inner metamorphosis.
Join us for an exploration of what this means for your own life. WILL YOU STEP INTO THE STORY? Something remarkable is unfolding on the horizon.

Your Mid-Year Makeover
Remember, you are a masterpiece in the making.
You're not bound by the constraints of impossibility that seek to crush you. Instead, you're cradled in the loving arms of God, who paves the way for you.
Step boldly into His story, trusting Him to navigate every twist and turn.
Let your next chapter be written in faith and courage, for even in June, there are fresh beginnings awaiting you.
Grateful to walk together with you friend!
