TLC #024: Rising Above with Purpose

Hey Family,

Today, we're diving deep into something that's more than just a story from the past—it's about how you can level up in your life today. I'm talking about the resurrection, but stick with me, because this isn't your usual Sunday talk. This is real talk for us, right here, right now. So, let's break it down:

1. The Power Within You

You know how we celebrate wins and comebacks? The resurrection is the ultimate comeback story, showing that no matter what, you can overcome. But here’s the kicker—it's not just about what happened back then. It’s about realizing there's this incredible strength inside you, right now, to beat your challenges and make your life what you want it to be.

Actionable Takeaway: Start your morning by telling yourself, "I've got the power to make today better." Identify one thing that's been a challenge and take a small step towards overcoming it. It could be as simple as making that phone call you've been avoiding or setting a budget to save money for something important.

2. Your Unique Role

Ever think about why you're good at what you do? Whether it’s music, sports, art, or just being the person everyone leans on—it's your gift. And it's no accident. It’s about using what you’re good at to make a difference, to add something positive to the world.

Actionable Takeaway: Take a moment to list out what you're really good at and enjoy doing. Then, think of one way you can use that talent this week to help someone else or brighten up their day. It could be playing a tune, helping a neighbor, or even sharing some laughs.

3. Moving Forward with Confidence

Here's the thing: stepping up and out into what you're meant to do can look daunting. But remember the story of the women at the tomb? They were determined, even when it seemed like everything was against them. And what happened? They found the stone rolled away. It's a reminder that when you're on your path, barriers can and will move.

Actionable Takeaway: Think of a goal you’ve been hesitating to chase because it feels like there are too many obstacles. Write down those obstacles, then next to each one, write a possible solution or someone who could help. Commit to tackling one of those solutions this week.

So, as we step into this season of renewal, let’s take this message to heart. It's not just a story; it's about rising above, leveling up, and living fully. The comeback is in your hands.

Remember, the strength, the talent, and the ability to move forward—they're all in you. Let's make it happen.

Peace,
