Write a Letter to Your Future Self as a Discipline for 2022
Are you like me and you use the period during Advent and Christmas
– between special worship services, family time, and sports games – to ponder the end of the year and the opportunities and challenges of the new year? I am not talking about resolutions you make and break in the new year but discerning where God is leading you in the new year.
One vehicle I use to concretize this is a website called FutureMe where you write a letter to yourself and have it sent to you on a date in the future – next week, next month, the end of the year, etc. Interested? Here is how to connect: https://www.futureme.org/ or https://www.facebook.com/futureme. My gift to you!
