New Year, New Resolutions. Happy New Year! 01/11/2011
Well - what do you think of our new website? Let us know if you would like to see anything else - just visit our contact us page. For many people, the new year is a time for regeneration. Most of us make resolutions with very good intentions but often times and usually unintentionally, we quickly fall back on our old habits. We may have the mind to change but our hearts are not in it, or our heart may be in it but our mind or body just won't cooperate. Frequently, we just become plain lazy and end up putting off what we can do today. We prioritize, but our priorities are not in the right order. We tend to look for what can satisfy us in the short run and don't look very far ahead. We rely on ourselves to make our own changes happen. I can't speak for you but I've done this before. Based on my personal experience, I know that relying only on myself won't take me very far. Eventually, I will disappoint myself when I stumble - and it's definitely not an 'if', it's a 'when'. Who wants that kind of disappointment, especially when I know that the God of the universe wants to take me so much farther than I can ever accomplish myself? Instead of a resolution with only you on your team, think about making this your personal challenge for 2011: let God take the reins of your life. I'll let you know up front; this is a challenge you WILL have to work at every day. But know this: you are in for the ride of your life! If you take on this challenge, God promises to be right there with you. Who knows what heights you can reach when you put your trust in the One who knows the ultimate plan? Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - JDR Add Comment |
