I will not walk alone

The New Year has arrived and I must say that it has started with a BANG!  It always amuses me how people make resolutions for the new year that somehow always resemble the exact same ones made the year prior.  Don't get me wrong, I am all for changing for the better.  The issue I have is when you keep making the same resolutions only to fall short and give up before giving yourself another chance to succeed.  This year maybe it is time to do some self reflection and find out exactly what is keeping you from attaining these goals you have made for yourself. That is exactly what we have done for 2015.  No longer will we make selfish requests for our own prosperity, no sir. This year we (Hubby and I) have learned that without GOD first in our lives it is impossible to move forward and succeed in all of our endeavors.  How one measures success is also to be taken into account here because the measure of my successes will not be the same as another. For this I am grateful, because I know without a shadow of a doubt that GOD has a plan for me and that by faith and prayer for guidance I will overcome any and all obstacles to lead me to do His will.  Every morning that I am able to wake up to a new day is a blessing and for me... a success.  Just imagine the possibilities that abound when you are given a new day to serve the Lord by serving others!  It makes my heart sing with joy at the thought of sharing just a little bit of my light with others. To let others know that by the grace of God I am here to listen to them, share a kind word or gesture, or better still share with them the word of God.  I am blessed that I have found my way back to my faith and want nothing more than to share it with others in what I say and I do.  I know this task will not be easy as every day our faith is tested by struggles and challenges beyond our control.  Knowing that I will not walk alone during those tumultuous times makes the journey worthwhile.  Look out 2015 because here I come to achieve all that God has set before me!
