The New Year

When the new year is getting ready and as it arrives, I usually wonder to myself. I wonder what the new year will bring, and how will I accept it? Last year found us moving , new job for me. And a new grandchild, who we adore and can't hold or see enough. Some of the constants in my life is my bride Michelle and Gods influence in my life. I read an author this morning who stated that he ignored what Christ wanted him to do and did his own thing his own way. To my dismay I can identify with him on that. He went on to state that he is going to allow Christ to have control more and see what happens this next year. I know for myself a little less turmoil would e nice.

There is a song I go to sleep with most nights , the title is " Blessed Assurance". The opening words are you guessed it Blessed Assurance Jesus is mine. Oh what a fore taste of glory divine. It goes on to say perfect submission perfect delight. I can't say that with full truth yet. I am still a work in progress.

As this new year unfolds I'm asking God to help me get out of the way of what he wants me to hear and do in my life. I'll let you know how it's going.
