New Years and All that Comes With It.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I hope that the new year for everyone is unbelievably blessed, and that we can all grow in our relationships with each other as well as with our Lord. As the new year is upon us, I just wanted to write about the new year, and what comes along with all that.

The thing that really hit me last night and into today is that I didn't make a new years resolution yet, so when I was laying in silence today I really gave it thought. I also prayed about the thoughts I was having because that is just who I am and what I do. In really thinking about this I brought those typical resolutions into my head you know like I am going to get healthy, lose weight, find the love of my life, and even thought about overcoming struggles that bind me. I then sat back, looked up at God, and smiled because I realized that through him all that would be possible. That if I grow in relationship with him that I will become new that all those things that we choose to be new years resolutions will all come true in due time because all things are possible through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I was just like "Wow God, you are unbelievably amazing, and I am truly blessed to know that I have you by my side through it all."

I mean honestly let is just sit back and realize that we can accomplish all that we set out to do, so what tells us that we can't do all that I listed earlier and 20 times more as long as I have God and the knowledge of that I am forgiven and made new because of Christ Jesus.

So in saying all this, am I making a New Years Resolution? Of course. To grow in relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because through Him all things are possible, and through him I am made brand spanking new.

Lord, today I just lift the previous year up to you. I thank you for all my struggles, all my blessings, and all the things you do in our lives period. I just ask today that you bless all of our new years to come, and that we realize that You are the answer to our New Year. That you are the one who can make all the things we dream of come true because you love us Lord. We are your beloved, and I just continue to pray that we all can grow in our relationships with you. In your most holy of names I pray. Amen.
