Do you feel overwhelmed? Constantly distracted? And you are ready to hear the voice of God and live life to the fullest in 2022?

What would it take to see Texoma transformed for the gospel and 100 people to come to Christ in 2022?  Join the next 8-week Disciple-Making Movement Training that will begin February 6 at 12:00 PM.

Proverbs 23:4
Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
Did you spend more time in 2021 making money than building relationships?  Were you obsessed with making money and now realize a year in your life is gone and you have missed out on too many life experiences?  When it comes to priorities in life, if money is at the top of your list then your list needs some serious adjusting in 2022!
 
Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
Mistakes made in 2021 are in the past, so don’t make them a pattern.  You did something foolish last year, don’t do it again.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Fools make the same mistakes over and over again.  Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. 
 
Proverbs 10:7
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
Another year is gone and with it another building block in the legacy you will leave behind.  What will your family and friends remember you for?  Start building a legacy of goodness in 2022.  Do something outrageously good this year, something people will talk about and be inspired by for years to come!
 
Proverbs 21:20
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.
Was 2021 characterized as the year of consumption - make money and spend it!  God doesn’t give us stuff so we can consume it all.  Save some.  Give some away.  See every resource you are blessed with in 2022 not just as something for you to consume, but see it as some way you can bless others!
 
Proverbs 13:3
He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
There's a good chance that many of the problems you had in 2021 were because you spoke without thinking.  Think, then speak.  God gave us two ears and one mouth -- I think he was trying to tell us something!
 
Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Delight in all the joys around you every day.  Laugh more in 2022 than you did in 2021.
