Joy is not really an emotion or a feeling. It is something we receive and we cultivate. We have more joy when we live with intentionality, make small adjustments in our priorities and our rhythms. Let's go into 2026 together with our sights on creating and living with more purpose, intention, and joy.

Sometimes it seems like the tares are overtaking the field, doesn’t it? But Jesus reminds us—this is expected, and God has a plan. At the appointed time, He Himself will do the separating. Until then, our job is to stay faithful, rooted, and growing in Him.
