A Message From the Editor

GREETINGS SISTAHS!

Ever wonder why you are at a certain point in life and how you got there? Having that question makes it hard to determine how to end the year strong and determine what goals to focus on in the coming year. The answer is easy to seek God in prayer and ask for His direction, right?

Today, be challenged to consider this question, “Where is your focus?” Possessions can be wiped away by a hurricane. One change in the housing market can decrease the value of our home tremendously. One bad business deal can bankrupt a company. One bad car accident can leave one without a vehicle. Wallets can be stolen, laptops can have coffee spilled on them, and phone screens can be broken. Jesus is pointing out that all the things on this earth that we treasure are temporary, they are fragile, and they don’t last. We must clear out the gunk so that we can see clearly and focus clearly on where we’re going. What’s the spiritual gunk that is keeping you from seeing clearly? Perhaps it’s some friends that you have. Perhaps it’s some sort of intake in your life like television, music, or internet. Perhaps it’s an improper devotion to something like possessions, or politics, or power. Perhaps it’s your own pride, or arrogance, or apathy. Perhaps it’s an addiction to drugs, or acceptance, or some sort of sexual sin. Whatever it is, get the gunk out so you can see! Jesus has changed your life, so focus on Him and His ways! Set your eye towards the good, set your eye toward God, and be filled with light.

Go forth SISTAHS, be empowered, be informed and be inspired!
