Ringing In 2016

A New Year calls for a little something for everyone.....

-For those of you who are wishing this holiday season wasn't coming to a close, read-

Child in the Manger (my 2015 Christmas poem).

-For those of you hoping for some inspiration for the new year, read

Welcoming A New Year.

-For those of year secretly hoping this year brings..(you fill in the blank), read

The Year I Have Been Waiting For.

For those of you hoping for something more, here is the deal. I do not have a food plan that can guarantee you good health or an investment plan that can guarantee you financial security, mostly because there is not one. We do the best we know to do and trust God and His plan. Often I fail to do my best. Even if I manage to eat some superfoods for breakfast, by noon I have usually lost my patience with someone. When I fail, I feel as if life will never turn out how I want it to; then I remember, it is not about life being how how I want it be, it is about God being able to use my life and shape it for eternity. So here is to a year of pressing close to Him, trying, failing, repenting, finding hope and forgiveness. Here is to a year of ups and downs, but mostly ups because He is drawing me closer to Him. Two thousand sixteen, and a sweet sixteen at that because it is so sweet to trust in Jesus.
