There are seasons when God increases the pace of our lives, not to overwhelm us but to show us that He has already prepared the road ahead. This December feels exactly like that kind of season. Doors are opening in ways I could not have orchestrated on my own, and each new opportunity carries both purpose and joy.
Recently, ENG Sports invited me to be added to their official Christmas donation list, which means that one third of all donations from Casino Night and other philanthropic promotions at the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational —after event costs—will directly support our ministry work. This is more than generosity. It is a divine alignment. The businesses, nonprofits, and organizations connected to this event now have a chance to support something meaningful while receiving strong community visibility. If this becomes the first annual Casino Night Christmas fundraiser, what a blessing it will be to lay the foundation with such incredible partners.
As we approach the end of the year, my heart keeps returning to one phrase: Let’s finish strong.
So many ministries, businesses, and families need end-of-year gifts to propel their work forward. For us, Casino Night is more than a fundraiser. It is a beautiful opportunity to gather, give, celebrate, and close 2025 with unity and purpose. What a way to end the year and simultaneously step into what God is shaping for 2026.
This season has also been filled with unexpected gifts.
My intercessory prayer team has covered me in ways that feel deeply personal and deeply spiritual. Last weekend we were able to pray and have a really great time bonding.
My new relationship with BNI has been a blessing—bringing new voices, new encouragement, and new connections into my world.
And on a personal note, my family’s cruise on Margaritaville at Sea reminded me again how precious these moments are. In the middle of ministry, planning, fundraising, and dreaming, God still gives rest, laughter, and memories.
As we enter this week, I am reminded that December 21 marks the first day of winter, a new season. And I truly believe this winter is not a season of slowing down, but a launching pad into 2026. What God has started, He intends to establish. What He has aligned, He intends to multiply.
I pray that as you read this, you recognize the doors God is opening in your own life. May you finish this year strong, filled with purpose, covered by peace, and positioned for the blessings waiting in the next season.
Together, let’s step boldly into what God has prepared.
With gratitude and joy,
Jorgie
