At the beginning of each year, God shares with me a word that He desires for those who are connected with Church for Entrepreneurs to focus on for that entire year. The Word for 2021 is Rest.

Our motto for this year of rest is Hear, Execute, and Relax: "HER".
 
  • Hear in our spirit
  • Execute with our hands
  • Relax in our mind
 
Rest requires seven things of us.
 
  1. Live in the now, not the future. 
  2. Do whatever we are able to do, then do it all without constantly second-guessing yourself.
  3. Do not push too hard to find purpose; let purpose find us while we are doing what we know how to do.
  4. Rely on the blessing for success, instead of leaning on our own power to make success.
  5. Let God be in control of “how it’s going to happen”, "when it's going to happen", and "what's (in terms of magnitude of results) going to happen".
  6. Do not add extra details to God's instructions.
  7. Allow to give ourselves grace when we make mistakes.
 
Keep it simple in 2021. Get God's direction and focus on today's instructions, and let tomorrow take care of itself. In this way you can succeed in your rest. This year let your spirit and hands do the work, and rest your mind from figuring it out.
