My word this year is pathways. God is again faithful to complete the good work He started. Three pathways are this year’s goals. Health, community, and provision are the areas God showed me that He wanted to fulfill in my life in 2024.
In the area of health, my functional medicine specialist has led me into a new way of living, laying down the foods that we have found to be inflammatory for me. Water weight fell off after I committed to no longer eating those foods. Also, my blood work shows vast improvement in critical areas of organ function. We have a good plan moving forward to relieve the symptoms of a chronic issue. Even if the new medication does not eradicate the bacterial problem, we have found herbal treatments that suppress it effectively. I believe my health in this decade will be much improved compared to the last 40 years.
In the area of community, I am blessed to now be part of an impressive church, built by God over more than 50 years. Trinity Community Church in Knoxville (www.tccknox.org) demonstrates the love of God through body ministry as well as outreach to the area and beyond to many parts of the world. We lift up Jesus so all will be drawn to Him.
Last and not least, God is always on time. His provision for me was established long ago. Now He has provided an affordable home that means my income provides a comfortable budget. I will be moving next month, and the lovely apartment is one that will be a safe and hospitable place for me, perhaps for the remainder of my days, should He tarry.
I cannot remember a time when God’s promises to me were fulfilled so early in the year. I plan to rejoice in Him and His faithfulness this year and in all the years to come.
