Day by Day: Embracing January 3, 2025

Hey, FAITH Fam!

We’re three days into 2025, and life might already be testing your patience and your plans. That’s the thing about this journey—life doesn’t wait for us to settle in before throwing us challenges. But don’t worry; today is another chance to reset, refocus, and keep showing up with the strength God placed in you.

Finding Beauty in the Ordinary

January 3 might feel like just another day, but don’t sleep on the beauty of the “ordinary.” Life isn’t only about the big wins—it’s the little, everyday moments that remind us of God’s faithfulness. Maybe you handled a difficult conversation with grace, or maybe you’re simply finding the energy to push through.

Let’s slow down today and give thanks for the small blessings: a warm cup of coffee, a quiet moment, or the breath of a new day. These little things remind us that His mercies are new every morning.

Checking In With Yourself

How are you doing, FAITH Fam—really? Take a moment to pause and ask yourself where your heart and mind are today. Are you holding on to stress, fear, or yesterday’s worries? If so, it’s time to let them go. God didn’t design us to carry what He’s already handled.

Here are three questions to reflect on today:

1. What am I grateful for in this moment?

2. What’s one way I can honor myself today?

3. How can I lean into God’s presence more fully right now?

Daily Affirmations for January 3

Speak these truths into your day:

• I trust God’s plan even when the path feels unclear.

• I release what I can’t control and embrace God’s peace.

• I am walking in purpose, one step at a time.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this new day and the fresh opportunities it holds. As we move through January 3, help us to see Your hand in the little moments and trust You in the big ones. Teach us to release the things weighing us down and to walk in the freedom You’ve given us. Bless each member of this FAITH Fam with strength, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏽

FAITH Fam, remember this: each day is a gift, and every small step you take brings you closer to the purpose God has for you. Let’s keep moving forward with faith, hope, and gratitude.

Stay faithful and fabulous,

Shun 🫶🏽
