Investing In Our Best

Getting the best from ourselves requires focus and investment of time and energy.  Growing in our understanding of our best selves is a lifetime journey.  We learn and grow through the support of parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors, through what we read and what we experience. Having the habit of making the most of the learning that life presents and actively seeking ways to enhance our learning helps to keep us growing to be the best that we can be.  It involves being intentional in our goals, being open to learning, being prepared to take risks, committed to giving our best, and learning through success and failure.  This learning is a hope-filled endeavour of reflection, action, and stillness.

The stories in the Bible, provide important life lessons that speak to us in different ways at different times of our lives.  They can provide an important mirror for reflection and growth. Most importantly throughout these stories, there is the constancy of God’s unconditional love and grace for us.  God’s love and forgiveness empowers us to graciously grow through all of life’s experiences.
