Week One of #M&M Season

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on when you read this! I’m truly grateful to God for allowing us to see the month of March. It’s only by His grace and mercy that we are here today. As we step into this new month, let’s embrace the March Challenge! I’d love to hear how your journey is going. How was your first day? And for those who haven’t started yet, remember that it’s never too late to try again tomorrow—we have 30 more days ahead!🤍

This week, I want to focus on the theme of gratitude. It’s important to understand that gratitude isn’t just an activity or something we do passively; it’s a practice and a culture we should cultivate in our lives. Gratitude is a healthy habit we all need to embrace, giving thanks to God for everything He does for us. Imagine having a child you buy gifts and cannot acknowledge that they are grateful for them or they do say thank you but you can tell that what’s coming out of their mouth contradicts what their heart is saying .Let's be intentional about expressing our gratitude to God It’s even in the little things like the air we breathe ! Just as we ask God for things, we should also remember to thank Him for them.

I encourage you to take a moment each day to write down what you’re grateful for. As you do this, your list will grow, and you’ll become more aware of the blessings God has bestowed upon you. Maintaining a grateful heart is essential, especially during life's ups and downs. Remember, even in challenging times, God has preserved, protected, and kept you.

Today’s scripture is 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. No matter the circumstances you face, God equips you with love ,power, and a sound mind. A sound mind reflects discipline and holistic wellness, which we strive for at Growth Community. Let’s embrace gratitude this week!

Please meditate on the scripture and don’t hesitate to share what God has laid on your heart in the comments .

Happy M&M season 💕🌸

With Love ,
