Hey everyone! 

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

When I played baseball in college, the best year of my college career came when I was stretching regularly, and I would often have someone who was stretching me. The person stretching me would often tell me to "relax," and "to let them have it," but I had a hard time relaxing the muscles when someone else was trying to stretch me. I had to learn how to relax into the stretch and allow the person stretching me to do the work. 

We are in a season of the year where God likes to pivot, change directions, and reposition things—including people. If you are experiencing a shift or feeling a nudge that God wants you to make a shift, this feeling is probably from him. These shifts take place because God always wants to have people functioning in their highest capabilities. He will often shift things to bring out the best in us.

It is during this time that the repositioning will stretch us, and it can be hard to "relax, and let him have it"

If you're getting stretched it's important to know you can trust the one who is doing the stretching. He knows what he's doing and how to remove the areas that are bound up and restricting his power from flowing, in such a way that nothing tears or breaks. 

Here is our filter for this week... Relax into the stretch.

I am praying for you.
