Happy New Year to you!!!
Thank God for life. Today is Monday and yes, I know Mondays are crazy days, especially the Monday after a long-short holiday. #yawn
Oh well, we must remain thankful for the busy and not so busy days. It's a new year and I know the trend is to make new year resolutions that most likely won't survive January 30th. Hahaha. I'm not saying don't make resolutions, but all I'm about is that, we need not wait until the start of a new year to make changes in our lives. Every day is the start of a new year for us. Don't wait until the calender turns to a new year.. Changes should be made as the need arises. All I am resolved to do this year is take one day at a time and follow God's direction. And so! Unto some of the many lessons I have learned this past week.
1. The first daily miracle we all experience and must never take for granted is the miracle of the breath of life. That you are breathing is a miracle on its own.
2. Love what you do, do what you love.
3. Don't compare yourself with others.. Everyone of us is on a different path of life.. Stay focused on finishing well. Don't be distracted by the progress of others. You have your own journey to undertake, and remember you will give account to God.
4. Don't rush into anything without taking time to seek advice, pray, read extensively about the subject and pray!
5. Don't sow bad seeds.. You will reap it. That's just the plain truth.
6. Your love shouldn't be restricted to words alone... Act it. Be generous, share, sacrifice, let others feel the warmth of God's love from your life.
7. Be careful who you pretend to be. You might just forget who you are.
8. Trust God's dealings in your life.. He knows exactly what He is doing.
9. God can use my trials to work good in spite of the pain they may bring. Trials can be God's road to triumph. I must believe that God will use my trials to encourage the faith of others. "Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly." (Philippians 1:14)
10. God is unchangeable.. Our "changedness" (if that's a word) cannot change Him.
Well, like always, I hope you learn a thing or two.
I wish you a fulfilled year ahead, there's still more land to be conquered, but you gotta step into what God has given you.
Night ya'll.
Zzzzzzzzzzz....
