"New Beginnings" is more than just a phrase - it's a mindset that inspires hope, optimism, and excitement for what's to come. It's a reminder that every season can mark the start of a new chapter, full of possibilities for growth and change. We believe that God is moving by His Spirit and a season of the "new" is upon us. It is commanding us to RETURN AND REBUILD! 

One of the most powerful ways to embrace a season of "new beginnings" is to rebuild or renew our relationship with God. The book of Nehemiah teaches us that while things may fall apart, we can rely on God to help us pick up the pieces and create something even stronger. With God by our side, we can be the best version of ourselves.  We can "begin again!"

Additionally, the RETURN AND REBUILD season will empower us in new ways for fulfilling our God-ordained purpose which includes being 'Ambassadors, Kingdom Builders and Repairers of the Breach' for a hurting and broken world.  We, as BELIEVERS - must believe that the waste places and ruins in our personal lives, homes, and communities WILL BE REBUILT.  Our foundational scripture for the call to RETURN AND REBUILD is found in Nehemiah 4:14 - New Living Translation.

14 Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, “Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!”

Hey there!

Have you had any CHIPS today? Not the Lay's or Ruffles kind, but the RELATION-CHIPS, DISCIPLE-CHIPS, and PASSION-CHIPS? Uncertain about how these work? Feeling like this is more socializing than you're accustomed to? I understand, my friend! In today's world, we are not meant to navigate life alone. Although we are individuals, we grow and improve by fostering relationships with others. Relation-chips are the initial step toward becoming one of God's Disciples! I can almost hear Pastor Niecy saying, "C'MON NOW!" Being a Disciple of God entails striving to serve Him better, following His ways and teachings, and sharing the knowledge you've acquired with others. This process enhances your character, adds a touch of magic to your personality, and allows you to connect with like-minded, faith-driven individuals. If that isn't a divine plan, I'm not sure what else could be! The best part is that you get to do these things with PASSION! Passion-chips enable us to set aside negative feelings and approach tasks with gratitude, joy, all while focusing on God and spreading the love He has for us to the WORLD (even on tough days when a Snickers won't fix it)!

Take a moment today, this week, or this month to experience some "CHIPS"; you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you've been missing out on!
