This week's theme is RESET.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.”

– Mary Anne Radmacher
Today's Advice
“Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on?” The easiest answer to every tech glitch, right? And, after the eye-roll, and the flip of a switch, it sometimes strangely works!

But what happens when you glitch? When your body’s hardware is burdened, slow, and endlessly spinning? When your mind, body, and spirit are stuck in strange patterns; patterns that are unhealthy and glitchy?

RESET will help you fix your glitches. It will give you tools to power you ‘off’ and turn you back on to help restore and reset your hardware.

Hit the RESET button on your life; start over, and discover your God-given potential again!

RESET begins now!

Devotional

Find Your Strength
by Jamie Coy, Group Exercise Instructor, York Branch YMCA

Isaiah 40:31 KJV

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” 

There is a fundamental law that the tissue of the human body will waste away through idleness and disuse; muscles will atrophy. But muscles that are stressed and have resistance will grow and increase in capacity. This same basic law applies to our spiritual growth, as well as our mental capacity.
