Rhonda and I were finishing up a conversation in my living room. My husband yelled from the family room, "Jill, do you know where the remote is?" I told him I didn't, but I'd be in there to find it as soon as Rhonda left. Rhonda gave me one of those, "you're gonna find it in 2 minutes" looks as she walked out the door.
I headed in to find the remote. It took me about 3 minutes. I texted Rhonda, "Found it." She texted back, "Of course you did. It's your superpower!"

Our 2015 theme is Unleash Your Superpower. So what exactly does that mean? It means several things:
- First, we all have gifts, talents, and things we do well. It could be something you work hard at, like scrapbooking, or something that just comes naturally like being the only one who can find the ketchup bottle in the refrigerator. We're often more familiar with what we're NOT good at, than what we are good at. When you know your superpowers, you can celebrate how God made YOU!
- Second, we often forget how much power we have to make things different than they are. Much of the time it comes down to choices we make. We have the power to start over, respect others, forgive, be ourselves, and more! We just need to be reminded of what is already inside of us!
- Third, our ultimate Superpower is Jesus Christ. When we tap into God's power, we have abilities beyond what we can do on our own. When you're out of patience with your 3-year-old who has gotten out of bed five too many times, you need patience power beyond what you humanly have. When your husband says something dangerous like "what's for dinner?" on a day when you've had two sick kids and haven't had a shower yourself, you need the superpower of self-control that only God can give!
Did you drag something into 2015 that you needed to leave in 2014? I have good news for you. You can move forward without the past weighing you down.
Forgive. Let go. Begin again. Recommit. Say "I'm sorry." Take a baby step. Reorganize. Start over. (Tweet this!)
I dare you to unleash your power to start over! 2015 is full of possibilities when you walk each day with the one and only Superpower who equips you for the ups and downs of this motherhood journey.
Joining you in the journey,
