We are starting a New Year and I thought I’d share something that I saw today.
Now is the perfect time to consider your Rose, Thorn, Bud:

What on earth is that you ask? Read on.

• Rose - is what we are grateful for and I hope you have a massive bouquet full of gratitude
• Thorn - is a challenge you have yet to overcome - and the beauty of this community is that it is a nurturing and positive environment designed to support you in your journey
• Bud - is a new opportunity on the horizon that provides you with hope
I encourage you to enter the new year with strong desire driven by passion and conviction. Consistency is paramount, do what needs to be done, turn up and keep turning up and maintain your optimism.

The whole world paused this morning.
Do you know why? Because an 8 year old’s tank was empty.
The boys had already started their school day at their desks and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face.
I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head. When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head.
So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap. I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled.
He cried into my chest and I held tight.
I asked if he could feel my love filling him up?
A nod, and tears stopped...
I waited a minute...
‘Has it reached your toes yet?’
He shook his head no...
‘Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now. School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay? Filling you back to the top. Is that good?’
*nods*
One more minute...
‘Is your heart full of mamas love now?’
‘Yeah...’
*looks in his eyes* I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling!
Y’all. You may not be 8- you may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did. His weekend was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!!!
We all have to pause, and take a moment to refill with the good things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs. Refill your empty, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why.
Take a moment. Refill. It’s the most important part of your day!

It's never too late! Whatever your age - 24 or 84, it's never too late to turn around and make your life better. It just gets better and better!
