“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) has been on my mind a lot lately. I’ve been making so many new decisions, minute by minute, decisions I never thought I could make. But now, they feel possible because I draw my strength from God.

One example from this week, hosting two gatherings and preparing meals in one week used to overwhelm and stress me out. But now, something has shifted. I want to serve others. I crave bringing people together, fostering kind and meaningful relationships. I just step forward and do it, boldly leaving my worries outside the door. Deep in my heart, I know God is with me every step of the way.

Whether things go smoothly or not is no longer my focus. What matters is that every encounter in my life is orchestrated by God for a purpose. The question is whether I am following what my heart truly desires in alignment with His will.

Right now, I am. And for that, I’m so grateful. Thank You, Lord, I could never achieve anything on my own. But with You, I can do all things.
