A Time For Reflection




Sitting here tonight thinking about the beginning of a new year. I'll just admit...I am scared. I have looked back over the last year and my thought was what have I really accomplished..... Hmmm...let me think.....There has been progress with hubby and I in the area of finances....A good thing. I am a stepmom and I have seen ups and downs there, but more ups. In the area of marriage, there have been ups and downs there as well...times when I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but because of Love we overcame. I am learning that in marriage there should always be growth, if not you are in trouble. I have learned something I should have learned a long time ago that Trust In God Is Key To Everythng. When you put your trust in people, they let you down....When you put your trust in money it disappears. A job... well you can lose it. God's love never fades, fails or lets you down. When I have felt at my lowest and I've prayed, I have sensed God's prescence. I am beginning to believe that "fear" has been my biggest enemy...all of my life but specifically this year. This one thing I know that your dreams and visions have to be bigger than the fear that holds you back. I am determined as the song says "to hold out to the end". That same song goes on to say "Jesus is with me on Him I can depend...I know I have salvation for I feel it in my soul....I am determined to hold out to the end!" That determination...with God's help will carry me through. My wish for this year is to become a healthier individual...physically, mentally and spiritually....let go of the fear and hold on to the FAITH.

Hmmm... perhaps last year wasn't so bad! Well, If things were actually accomplished last year.....I am determined this year will be even better. Time to get up and get going!
