Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 210 of our Trek. I hope that you are still able to relax and enjoy this Christmas holiday. If you have to work throughout this holiday, choose to enjoy it and spread cheer to those that you meet. Today we continue on our Trek that we started yesterday on our hike towards 2016. I mentioned yesterday that one commitment that I am making for 2016 is to live my life with purpose, on purpose. I encourage you to join me in living a life that is both rich and satisfying, to live life to the full. As we Trek through life, living fully does not imply that we won’t have setbacks but that we will be able to navigate through them while learning the lessons that they teach us. Wisdom-Trek is one way that will help you through the difficult days of our Trek. If you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.
We are recording our podcast from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Our planning days have begun as Paula and I lay out our calendar for all of 2016. This year includes a Chamberlain Family Reunion July 4th weekend, as well as the Podcast Movement conference the week following that. We will also be making 3 or 4 trips to Arizona to work with our partners there on the construction projects. One of the big aspects of our planning for 2016 is to create and build the “Christian Podcasting Network.” This is a new direction for us and stems from an opportunity we see from creating Wisdom-Trek and working with other podcasters who are also Christ followers. There are many other areas that will also be involved in our planning, so it should be a very intense week. If you are a person who prays, we would appreciate your prayers for wisdom and insight during this planning process and throughout 2016. As we do plan, we realize that it is God that will give us direction in all areas as we humbly follow him as was mentioned in Proverbs 16:9, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.”
