LIFE, FAMILY & FAITH
What has been entrusted to your care?
- How do I carry my faith into work?
- What does serving look like at work and home?
- Are we experiencing the same season differently?
The people we love. The relationships we are part of. The responsibilities we carry and the changes we did not expect. These deserve room for our attention, too.
Marriage, parenting, family and faith are lived in ordinary moments. Sometimes we need to listen more closely. Sometimes we need counsel, courage or space to acknowledge that we do not yet know what comes next.
You can begin with whatever has your attention. There is no need to turn it into a goal or have an answer ready.
A STANDALONE REFLECTION
What has been entrusted to your care in this season?
Take the questions at your own pace. Use what helps; leave room for what you are still trying to understand.
Where this comes from.
God is the Foundation to which I am anchored. That relationship informs how I care for my family, carry responsibility and seek to understand another person. Family, identity, grace, courage and hope connect back to that Foundation.
Always pray. Always seek. Always ask. Always trust. Always be grateful. That is the posture underneath how I approach a decision, a responsibility or a season I do not fully understand.
A next faithful step may ask for courage, counsel, patience or an informed pause. It includes seeking understanding and caring for the people affected, while trusting God when the whole path is not visible.
In Living and Leading an Anchored Life, I explore these connections through the stories and lessons of my life. There is room here for questions, uncertainty and looking again. What we believe and how we live are things we continue to bring into conversation.
This reflection is a new standalone application of Carlos’s ideas, not an excerpt from the book or Companion.
