Happy New Year
Happy New Year, friends! Have you thought about what you want 2022 to look like? Are you setting New Year Resolutions, goals, plans and even choosing your word of the year? Are you doing what you do every year at this time or are you ready to try something different?
Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:18-19
God has shown me that I keep doing the same things over and over again in a few areas of my life. Crazy, huh? It is a little crazy - especially since I keep hoping for different results. God has convicted me that while I have surrendered some areas of my life to Him, there are other areas I have not… namely, my physical and emotional health. How about you? Have you surrendered those areas to Him?
Oh, I have tried different programs and plans to be healthy. But each time I revert to my old ways and undo all the progress I have made, plus some. I have attempted to formulate my own plan, I have followed other people’s plans, but do you know what I have never truly done? Asked God about the plan He has for me when it comes to my physical health. I have never asked Him what I should eat and what I should avoid. I have not talked to Him about what kind of exercise I should do. Well, that is until recently.
Just like you want what is best for your children, our good, good Father has provided what is best for us. However, we act like our silly children acted and we want the bad stuff - lots and lots of the bad stuff. God has given us so many good things, and we are turning to that which is not good for us. But…
What if we made a decision to do something different? What if we asked God what we should stop doing and what we should start doing? What if in 2022, we focused on surrendering to Him mind, body and spirit? Think about it. How would your life change if you did that?
Would your life change if you exchanged your way of thinking for His?
Would you lose a few pounds if you chose to eat the way Jesus would if He were physically living in this time and culture?
Would you gain strength if you cared for your body the way He would?
What if this was the year you engaged Jesus in every area of your life and experienced the more He came to offer?
Will you join us over at Engage for More? We would love for you to visit our website and consider joining our Inner Circle. For just a small monthly fee, you can be a part of a community of like minded friends who encourage you on the journey of surrender, attend master classes, receive resources and so much more. Check it out. I really think it is something you will enjoy.
Here is the deal… we have an adversary and we will always have struggle in our life. But, with God’s help, we can experience transformational progress. We can grow and move toward who it is that God created us to become. We can do our part of walking in obedience to Him and making decisions that bring honor and glory to Him.
Join us and then this year when someone notices a change in you, you won’t give credit to a plan or a program. You will share how you decided to surrender it to God and that He has been faithful to help you.

Note from Pam:
Thank you for reading this blog post. It is my prayer that God will use my words to encourage you to engage Jesus in an intimate relationship. I love working with women one to one and in groups to help them remove their blindspots and move forward in true freedom and leadership. I would love to come alongside you and help you step into God’s plan for your life. If that is of interest to you, let’s chat. Just click here.
I love you and am thankful you are here. Let’s ask, “Master, what matters?” and let’s engage Him and experience the more He came to offer.
