Your Year: Starting Where You Are

What does your next year look like?

No, I don’t mean 2025. I mean from this moment, right here.

We often get stuck thinking our ‘year’ has to be the calendar year. We have to choose a word or a goal (or multiple) and start it by January 1st or it doesn’t count. But that is 100% not true!

It’s never the wrong time to choose to stretch and grow. To “put your yes on the table to God before you know what the question is,” as Rusty said in our January 5th worship encounter.

Below are some resources for stretching yourself this year, whether that year starts Jan 1st or Oct 21st. This is YOUR YEAR!

Don’t forget to start your ‘year’ with community at our February 2nd event! This is our annual event which means we are going BIG! Enjoy a catered dinner, fellowship, giveaways, and more importantly learn some of the stories behind the women in our community.

Final Prayer

God, we thank you for the chance to stretch and grow, no matter the time or season. We pray over every lady in our church and community, including ourselves. Create a longing, an unsatisfied thirst for you that is only satisfied with YOUR WORD. Remove our excuses and create in us a commitment to You that is unparalleled. In Jesus Name, Amen.


If you haven’t given your life to God, or maybe you have felt a stirring but haven’t acted, God is always there for you. He waits at the door to your heart. Open it. Loosen the fear. Life won’t be without hardship, and doubts will come, but God is bigger and SO much better. We pray with you today that God draws you near and helps you see all that He has created you to be. We would love to hear from you below in the comments, on our Facebook page, or at churchthatmatters.com/connect .
