A time for new Beginnings...
January 8, 2020
As we face a brand new year, we are looking to God for a new beginning; as we see the month of January as a time of renewal, a new start in our spititual walk with the Lord. We are always hoping for a better year, and for God to accomplish in and through us all of what He desires.
We do not make resolutions, instead, we journalize our life living begining with the month of January, so that we can take inventory at the year's end, to see how we are doing, and to seek God's guidance where we have fallen short.
Things are moving at such a rapid pace, that we find it difficult at times to keep up with our daily activities. Nevertheless, we must remain focussed on the will of God, and how we ought to live as people of God in this present world. Therfore, we must read His Word and apply it daily to our lives; for without His help and guidance, we can do nothing. for this cause, we encourage you to continue to look always to Jesus, for He is both the author and finisher of our faith.

It has been sometime now, that I stopped making "new year's resolutions", but instead, I have found that what works for me, is making a set of goals I would like to achieve for the new year. All year round, I check my goals, sometimes checking off the ones that I have accomplished, and sometimes adding new ones as they come up, and at year's end, I can see what I've accomplished, and where I need more work to be done.
Last year was a very trying time for me and my little family, and at the same we learned to make it through adversities. One of the major things we learned, was the value of very strong family ties. We found out that indeed, a many stranded cord is not very easily broken, and the family that prays together, and pulls together during the storm, will remain together after the storm is over. ...
