Happy New Year

New Year....this is the beginning of anything you want it to be. Page one of a 365 page book. How will you write it? This year...laugh more, worry less. Be YOU and don't try to be a copy of someone else. Realize life is short, say "I Love You" to those you care about. Reach out to help someone in need. Live life not looking for what others can do for you, but have a heart searching for what you can do to help others. Enjoy the little things. Read more. Complain less. Have a closer walk/relationship with God, depend on Him and lean on Him this year more than ever before. 

Strive to be the best you can be. Surround yourself with people who truly care about you, and let go of those who don't. Learn to let go, and let God take control this year. Know that 2016 will have valleys as well as mountains. Embrace the trials, for they will help you grow. 

As we look toward the new year, there are many people in this world who will be focused on making a New Years resolution... You should ask yourself; are the things you are resolving to do worthwhile? Do they have an eternal impact? 

Let us consider what we SHOULD be resolving, or committing to this new year. 

First, let us make sure we are saved. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. (Psalm 31:5)

Then, if we are certain of that new life in Christ, let us commit to His direction in our lives. Commit thy way unto the Lord; (Psalm 37:5)

Finally, if we are certain we have accepted His gift, and are willing for Him to direct our lives, let us commit to doing the things that please Him in the coming year. Commit thy works unto the Lord, (Proverbs 16:3)

God Bless and have a fantastic New Year!!!
