God Is Not Finished!!



I praise God for another year of life and making it through 2012. There have been some highs and lows, including joys & sorrow, but I am grateful for God's presence through it all, and the effectual & fervent prayers of the people in my life. While we strive to make the new year different from the previous year, be mindful that there are some things in 2012 that you CANNOT leave behind. There are some things that is necessary to carry into the new year with you because God is still doing a work in your life through that situation.

The year 2012 is finished, but God is not. As difficult as it may be, ask God what it is that you are supposed to learn while you walk through those fires in your life. We often learn the lesson AFTER the fact, but sometimes it is important to seek out the lessons in the MIDDLE of the trenches so that you can see God in a way like never before. I know this from personal experience!

Let's be realistic--A new year doesn't mean you will be problem-free, and the hell (yes, I said H-E-L-L) you went through last year may still be an issue for you right now.  But it can create an opportunity for you to develop a different perspective as you look at your circumstances, and a greater opportunity to lean on the One who is faithful to stick by you when you're on the mountain, as well as, in the valley.

Blessings to you all in 2013. Strive to do better, be better, and if you haven't already, start working on what kind of legacy you will leave behind. What will people say about you when you leave this life? Will they say that you cared, were you always bitter, did you love life? This is your challenge--start NOW!! :-)
