If you want to start the year with a fresh start, then try starting out with the Craving Connection Daily Devotion and learn how to achieve real life engagement in your life.
I always find that the beginning of the year is a great time to start fresh and make a plan to really achieve your goals. We can learn from the past year and move toward the future in a new way. One way I am doing just that is with Craving Connection: 30 Challenges for Real-Life Engagement.
Craving Connection comes from the (in)courage community and Dayspring. (in)courage is a community of women that encourages each other through loving support and meaningful connections. They just recently launched their first book which is Craving Connection.
Included are 30 days of devotional study full of real life stories and scripture application to encourage your connection with God, friends, and your community. Each day you will find scripture, devotional, connection questions, and a connection challenge with a takeaway.
As I have started and learned more about this community, there are certain people on my mind and in my heart that I am now more actively praying for and hoping to really engage in a friendship and life connection with them on a deeper level that God has called us to. Above all that I want my relationship with God to be the priority. I have found that Bible journaling helps me to really meditate on the scripture and spend time with God in worship with creating.
Craving Connection is now the other component I was needing for the other people and areas of my life. One thing that I love to do is find small things that aren’t expensive necessarily but will just brighten someone’s day in a special and meaningful way. You can only imagine how excited I was when I discovered their Encouragement Postcard Book.
There are 20 different postcards with the most beautiful lettered and artistic designs full of scripture and encouraging quotes. I can’t wait to send one to a friend or family member for a little fun happy mail to brighten their day when they least expect it.
To remind me daily of what I am learning in Craving Connection and how to keep it close to heart, I love their new Clip Frame and Art Print set. The whitewash with the gold foil is about more than I can handle. The perfect gold clip holds an art print to encourage me throughout the day or anyone who comes into my home.
What makes this even more perfect is the built in pocket on the back that holds the 25 art prints that come with it. I don’t have to worry about losing any of them and can switch them out easily whenever I choose. This would also be a great conversation starter to place on your desk at work so others can read and be touched as well. It’s the little things that will reach people sometimes.
And if that wasn’t enough, check out their Wear-One-Share-One necklaces that you can choose from several different words. I chose “Peace” and love being able to wear it and remind myself throughout the day of God’s peace whenever chaos tries to arise. I can’t wait to give the other necklace to someone close as a reminder to both of us that someone is always praying for them.

I am so expectant and excited to see how God works in my own life and heart to really connect with Him and others in a new and refreshed way this year. I am so thankful for resources like these to help and guide us along the way. Life is hard enough without having to do it alone. Let’s support each other as much as we can. I’m also excited to see what nuggets of truth speak to me that I can incorporate into my journaling Bible and illustrate there. We shall see…
Now head over to Dayspring and get your Craving Connection book now to start this incredible journey. I will be reading along as well so feel free to start a discussion in the comments below or ask any questions.
