New Year, New Ways

It is December 31st in America and the country is anticipating, planning, and hoping for 2011 to be better than 2010. As I my friends and family making their New Year's resolutions, I cannot help but think about the statistics. Most people quit their resolutions by March and go back to doing the same things that weren't working the previous year. But I want to resolve to not be resolute. In a New Year develop some New Ways and love yourself enough to keep them. As I've been on this journey of reading the Bible and figuring out the path God has for me I have realized that doing the same ole same ole does nothing to propel me forward in His grace. I want to walk out of 2011 with less weight, drama, inhibition, worry, and confusion than I had in 2010. And I want more prosperity, clarity, honesty, and love in 2011 to carry me into 2012. The world is not ending, but for me complacency is. God bless everyone and have a Happy New Year.

“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” - Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

So I fell of the band wagon...

I embarked on this journey to stroll through Eden back in September and I was doing considerably well until...life got in the way. I'm ashamed to say it, but I allowed school, work, and hanging out with friends interfere with my reading process. As Christmas is approaching I realize more than at any other time of the year that Jesus is the reason for the season. I plan on getting back on my schedule of weekly posts, picking back up with the Book of Numbers. I must say though I never forgot about my reading, I just kept postponing...and then a month went by. But I look forward to continuing my spiritual journey as I read and pray my way to my destiny. Merry Christmas everyone, and I look forward to being a better human being in 2011.
