Excitement for a fresh start. I was the kid in class that always liked the 1st week of school...fresh fro, new clothes and new opportunity to become the big man on campus. (no pun intended...being I am the big man) Anyways...there is something about the thought of a new beginning that refuels us! Another bonus for 2011 for us is the Release of our new CD!
...on the other hand...
January brings struggle in the form of memories of failed new years resolutions. You know like..I am gonna read my bible and pray at least 15 hours a day! No more soda, snacks or dairy queen! And I am gonna lose 173.5 lbs in 67 days! We all try to start off well. But somehow we lose it. We tend to lose steam sometimes way to quickly.
So I have decided I am going to make a new years commitment in December! Along with weight loss, financial, and other goals for the year...my 1st focus is gonna be to seek the Lord! I love God! He is worth it! And instead of trying to shoot at 20 different targets...I am going to aim at him and allow him to help me to reach everything else...his way!
Matthew 6:33 (The Message)
30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.God has got 2011 figured out! So let's seek him 1st!
God bless you! Be encouraged because he is mindful of you!
