Stewarding Your Season

Life often comes in many different colors, shades, and prints. Sometimes it feels bright, beautiful, and straight. Sometimes it doesn’t. What then do you do? Can you still live a NYTA life on those days when things don’t go the way you imagine or picture they would? The beauty about the NYTA (Not Your Typical Anything) life, the extraordinary life in God through Christ, is that it is not based on feelings or what we see or don’t see. It is a life centered on who God is and TRUST in His unwavering and unshakeable nature. It is a life of KNOWING who He is and KNOWING who He says you are, regardless of what you may or may not be seeing or feeling. It is a life of DEPENDENCE on His strength and abilities, which are unlimited, rather than on your own limited strength and ability. The NYTA life ushers you from a life of human-ability to the life of God’s ability, regardless of the circumstances. It is a life where you don’t look like what your realities, feelings, circumstances, or society dictates that you should look or be like. Most importantly, it is a life dependent on relationship with God and it starts with SUNRRENDER. It takes relationship with God through Jesus Christ to enter the lifestyle that is fueled by God’s ability. It takes:
Think of one thing in your life you can surrender to God today. What would it look like to trust Him completely and hand over every color, shade, and print of your life to Him? You can trust in His ability, because it is limitless. If this message resonates with you, my book, NYTA: Not Your Typical Anything, takes this journey deeper and invites you into the extraordinary life in Christ. P.S. I send out this newsletter once weekly to help you step into the extraordinary life in Christ. I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who may be encouraged by NYTA’s message.

The thin line... I have shared many beautiful realities of the NYTA life—the atypical, extraordinary, purpose-filled life that is our rightful state. This life flows from knowing who we are and whose we are. Knowing is a beautiful place to live, and knowledge is powerful. Knowing God—and knowing who we are in and through Him—produces boldness and confidence. But NYTA confidence has nothing to do with our own ability; it is rooted entirely in His ability. The danger of knowledge, however, is...
Two weeks ago, I introduced you to "I am..." and last week, I shared "He is...". Our “I am…” is based on “He is…” It is dependent on it. This is because our identity is found in Him. If "I am" is dependent on "He is," then it is critical to know that He is, and to know who He is, because it's in knowing Him that you come to know your "I am," and to become the "I am" God created you to be. Knowing is key. You cannot be who you don't know you are. And you cannot know who you are if you don't...
Have you ever wondered how everything that exists came into being? Have you paused to look at creation? Take a moment to look at the everyday beauty around you…the trees, the flowers, sunlight. Picture the beauty of sunrise and the breathtaking sunset that gently creeps up in the later part of the day. One of the things in creation that baffles me is the cloud. I sometimes stare outside my window and just gaze into the sky, watching the clouds form. I can’t help but admire the various shapes...
