2026 Calendar

"Look back and you'll see...
mountains and valleys and footsteps that got you to where you now stand. 
You'll see changes and answered prayers and uncertainty and pain and promise and something that will make you want to turn around and walk the other way. 
You'll see the answers to questions and questions to answers and thoughts that fall somewhere in-between. 
Look back and see a thread of grace that God has woven through what was and you'll see it when you look ahead. 
Open your hands and trust every need has been met and every prayer heard and every sin forgiven. What a God. What a grace. 
This grace is not to be abused, but it is free. And you'll need it every step of the way. Just like you'll need love. And faith. And others. 
You'll need to be reminded that you aren't done, but in many ways you have just begun. 
Look back when you need to, move forward when you are ready. You are being led forward by the steady hand of Mercy. 
You are still here finding your way. Ahead there will be mountains and valleys and pain and joy. 
You'll see God and He will see you. You'll grow. You always have been. You'll change. Just like you are now. 
And at night when the stars arrive and the quiet finds you remember to exhale and look up. 
You're right here alive. And He is with you as He always has been."
