So many unexpected things occurred in 2020
In listening, there is learning and when I listen to people describe 2020, I hear a layer of introspection that is new. I hear a slower pace and a more careful approach to 2021. So many unexpected things occurred in 2020. So many adjustments had to be made. And in the midst of all of this there were disappointments, discouragement and delays. Still, as I watched and listened I saw the adjustments in many that were made to turn adversity into advantage. I watched and I marveled as so many did so much for others in spite of the obstacles.
Priorities have been shifted. Trust the way you are seeing now. Rise above the sense of loss you may feel. Let the tears act as lenses to sharpen your focus as you make decisions for 2021. What you see as loss … cast it into the ground as seed. God can take your pain and turn it into joy. He can take your confusion and bring you clarity. He can turn your frustration into ferocious strength. He can, but He won’t if you won’t ask for His help.

Time to sow your loss as seed
The kernel of corn cannot be the glorious stalk that produces thousands of kernel. In the acorn is the mighty oak, and yes, oak forests. In you, there are generations of life giving – vessels of light and love. It’s hard to see when you have suffered loss, but when you sow that loss as seed — take a breath and let God do what He alone can do. He will cause the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, the dead to live and your life to be raised and lifted to new levels of influence and joy.
I start each day with prayer
Each day – I start with prayer and selfishly I pray for my wife and daughter first. There is so much there as I watch my Annie — as she checks her phone to see if her little Danielle, who is working a 24 hour shift at the hospital has texted. I watch as the relief comes across her face. It’s subtle – almost unconscious … but the pride, the joy and yes the concern are all wrapped into those few movements.
