Hello Everyone!
I hope you are well and moving forward in 2026!
I know you are aware of the huge gap between the Bogs during 2025.
I was responding to the lump found in my breast. It turned out to be cancer, and off I went to the doctors. Andi, it has been a roller coaster and a whirlwind, all wrapped up into one. Thus, keeping up with life wasn’t always easy. But life is like that sometimes.
I mentioned my situation to Dr. Dwight Webster, Sr., and found him helpful. Every now and again, I would receive the following affirmations, which helped me, and I thought I would share them with you.
I hope you enjoy and are encouraged by Dr. Webster’s words.
Surrender
Scripture: Matthew 6:10 “Your will be done…”
Reflection: Surrender is not loss; it is trust. When we release control, we make space for God’s wisdom. Lent teaches us that what we place in God’s hands becomes safer than what we clutch tightly ourselves.
Affirmation: I release control and trust God.
Foundation of Faith
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1
Reflection:
Faith anchors what we cannot yet see. It steadies us when clarity is still forming. A faith-centered foundation protects both individuals and relationships from instability.
Affirmation: I remain grounded in faith.
Blessing: May your foundation remain firm and centered in God.
Prayer: Father, root me deeply in You above all else.
Guarding My Mind
Philippians 4:7
Affirmation: I affirm that my thoughts deserve protection. I choose what I allow to shape my thinking.
Prayer: Lord, filter what enters my mind. Renew my thoughts with truth and hope.
Blessing: May clarity guide your thinking. May peace settle in.’
