Walk With Me

 I love walking! Walking has so many benefits! It improves our mood, lowers our blood pressure and keeps our muscles from getting stiff and our heart healthy, among other things. When I'm not walking outside, I love following along with walking workout videos. I love the workout videos because it's a group of people who have so much energy and joy and make you feel like you're right in the room with them 😊. I absolutely love that 💖! Walking with others also has its benefits and makes walking even more fun! We just came out of 2025 and are currently walking into a new year. Praise God we have kept going and are taking steps forward! In moments we felt like we were by ourselves last year, we were not alone. God was with us every step of the way. He also sent others our way that walked with us too. They were supporting and encouraging us. In moments this year that we may feel like we are alone, I want to remind you that we are not. We are not walking through this life alone because God is always with us (Hebrews 13:5). When we walk with God, He will lead us in the right way to go. He'll let us know what we should and should not do. He will give us the strength and rest we need for our journey. He will lead us to what's best for us 😊. Sometimes, we may stand at a crossroad and don't know what to do. It's in those moments we should ask God what to do (Jeremiah 6:16). He'll let us know if we should wait or proceed on something. He'll let us know just how we should handle a situation. All this comes when we walk with God. This comes from staying in step with His Word and the promises and commands found in His Word (Galatians 5:16, 25). He will also send the right people who can help us, give us resources and encouragement, or just be a listening ear 💖. Sometimes, I just need to talk things out (I'm sure some of you can relate!). Those who walk alongside us should be humble and not put us down. They, too, should want to walk in God's ways and want the best for us. I'm grateful for God walking with me and all He has placed in my life that continue to walk with me! We don't need a huge crowd; we just need a faithful few. Even in our low moments and places, we can know God is with us and we can keep walking through (Psalm 23:4). Notice it said "through." That means we're not stopping there and it's not the end 😊. That's a good place to praise God right there! I want to leave you with a Scripture from Deuteronomy 5:33 that says, "Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess." Whatever this year may bring, stay with God. Stay in His Word. Walk on God's path for your life. Keep walking with the right people 💖. Let's keep walking through 2026 with confidence knowing God is on our side. Love and blessings to all!
