Happy New Year to Everybody
I would like to thank all those that made my first year a success and may 2011 be a year that we get our house in order.
In with the new and out with the old. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. It’s a New Year, a new beginning, and time for new goals. You woke up this morning still on this side of Zion refreshed, wide eyed, and bushy tailed. You have another day and/or year to get it right. So what will you do, this year, with your gift of life?
I want you to start just where you are, in your bed, focusing on this past year and the goodness of the Lord and how He has brought you through yet another year. Removing all obstacles from your mind, that are hindering you from moving forward with the life that He has called you too. Just let Him take over your thought process so He can talk to you. You will be amazed at what He will say to you if you just let Him In.
Taking a step back for a minute and asking yourself if 2010 was good to you, good for you, or are you glad it is over? Are there some people, things that you just need to let go of, and let God deal with? Year after year, you just keep getting drained by life issues and you carry them into the next year hoping that things will change. Well, folks it won’t change until you change and give whatever it is up! You cannot change people, you can only change you.
This past year God told me to get my house in order. I think some of my friends thought I was a little crazy when I told them. But I listened to God and started cleaning stuff out of my house that I no longer needed. Giving to family, Goodwill, and throwing out things that just needed to go. I know my sons were glad about this because this was years of stuff. I did not take a vacation, paid off bills, and just stayed in tune to His word to me.
Reset your life and adjust the focus to yourself. What do you want to do for you this year. Stop allowing everybody to dictate to you when they are still stuck themselves.
What goals do you want to accomplish in the short-term, mid-term, and long-term. For example; do you want to finish school, pay off your bills so you can buy a home next year.
Now get up and dance around your room praising God for His love, grace, and mercy over your life and family.
Happy New Year
