New Year, Same Vision

Happy New Year everyone! I pray you had a restful break and that you are ready for

whatever 2026 may hold. Usually, I would try and find a word or phrase for the year-
something that would motivate me in the new year. With that being said, I don’t want to leave behind last year’s vision-particularly the

school’s vision...Created For a Purpose. I don’t want that to just apply to my school life,
but rather apply it to every day. Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should

walk in them.”

I don’t know about you, but it’s very easy to get your purpose confused with your role in
life. My role in life is never-ending: parent, spouse, director, daughter, aunt,
granddaughter, the list goes on. How does that saying go?-”I was born to be a
mom/dad.” I was born for this job.” But the more I think about it, while I wouldn’t trade
any of those titles, my ultimate title is the one that gives me the most joy-CHILD OF GOD.
And in being a child of God, that is what gives me my true purpose. Without knowing
who holds my tomorrows, I could never be fully effective in my life roles. We were created by a God who knows us, sees us, and designed our lives with meaning
woven into every fiber. In this new year, allow God to use you for a purpose. May we
make ourselves available for what He has called us to do. Disclaimer: when we make
ourselves available, the road may not always be smooth. Our purpose is often refined
through delays, detours, disappointments, waiting and silence. But praise God, He
doesn’t waste pain. What feels like a setback can become preparation. All because we

were created for a purpose.

In 2026, may we seek out our spiritual purpose. May we remember who we are in Christ
Jesus. We belong to the family of God! The song says “ I’m so glad I’m a part of the
family of God. I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood. Joint heirs with
Jesus as we travel this sod, for I’m part of the family, the family of God!”
