One of my guilty pleasures is scrolling Facebook and Instagram. It’s like peeking through the windows of people I love -- weddings, babies, birthdays, and vacations. Life is happening. And honestly? I celebrate with them.
I’ve decided this is a year to be an encourager, a loud clapper from the sidelines when prayers are answered and hope is stirring.
But here’s the truth: when God gets ready to do something new, He often starts by nudging us to adjust. To let go of what’s been weighing us down and lean into who we already are in Christ. I call this recalibration time -- a holy tune-up of the heart.
One of my closest companions is my phone’s navigation app. This calm, confident voice has rescued me more times than I can count, especially on Austin highways and roads. When traffic snarls, he simply says, “Recalibrating,” and -- just like that -- I’m rerouted, calmer, safer, and usually right on time.
That’s exactly what I’m doing with my life.
Two-thirds of January is already behind us, and I’m making some course corrections. Nothing dramatic -- just honest. Healthier eating (yes, I admitted my sugar romance and we’re currently “on a break”), consistent movement, more water, better choices. But it goes deeper than food and fitness.
I’m recalibrating my focus.
Laughing on purpose. Reaching out to friends -- old and new. Watching my reactions as closely as my actions. And above all -- this is the big one -- spending more unhurried time with the Lord. Keeping Him as my True North. My moral compass. The Voice I trust when I hear, “Recalibrating.”
Here’s how I know I’m on course:
A peace that doesn’t need explaining.
A hunger for His Word.
Wise voices who love me enough to tell the truth.
Divine nudges, open doors, holy “aha” moments.
“The Lord is my Shepherd.” I’m not meant to know everything -- just to follow.
And when I do? I arrive on time -- in fact earlier than I expected!
