(2007)

...A New Year Prayer.

Another year has come and gone

You’ve walked with me each day

You’ve guided me, and counseled me

To help me find my way...

Looking back on where you’ve brought me

And the lessons you’ve so patiently taught,

I can reflect on my own impatience

And how your will, I had diligently fought.

...On those days when I couldn’t see for looking;

But the way was always clear in front of me

To those times when I’d blindly turn to logic,

Refusing to allow myself to Spiritually see -

For a year of stubborn disobedience

I confess intentions that were ill;

Simply because my faith was not strong enough

To abide by, and obey your perfect will.

And now, another year is dawning

May it be graced by your revealing light

May you shine the way through stubbornness,

So I can start it right!

Amen.

I love New Years! It's a chance at New begginnings, to start fresh...to 'move on'

I was reflecting back on 2006. It has been a very painful year - from everything concerning Officership (and more precisely - mistakes I've made), to losses that have taken place in the family, to health concerns with family members....

But God has been in control the whole step of the way.

In the same way, 2006 has been an absolutely wonderful year of growth. I can't even begin to elaborate on that...The only thing I can say, is: Nothing is by accident; Everything is God ordained...

God bless all this New Year. May the Light of the Lord shine upon you (in every way) so that his perfect will is revealed - for your life.

God Bless.
