What are you going to do?

It is the time of year where people begin to think about what they want to accomplish in the year to come. Many begin to take inventory of their lives and try and figure out how to make things better! I love to look a head, I am a planner by nature and love to dream and think about possibilities that God routinely lays in front of me. One of my friends once gave me a bumper sticker that said “Obstacles become opportunities with God”. There may be things you are facing in the New Year that may be overwhelming you! Can I tell you that our God is still an awesome God! His word promises us that He is never going to leave us or forsake us. Have you considered what you are going to do in the New Year? Can I make some suggestions?

§ Pray! Ask God what He wants to accomplish through you in the New Year. Let Him know of your availability. Someone wrote, “God does not care about your ability as much as He cares about your availability”. Be a willing vessel for God to use.
§ Plan! Make a plan, and stick with it. If you are planning on starting a diet or exercise program make sure that you think through all of the possibilities. So many times we think about something and set out to do it putting little thought into how we want to accomplish this task. We need to plan, research, set goals and time lines. Don’t get discouraged.
§ Prepare! The best-laid plans are dismal if you are not prepared for the outcome. If you are going to start an exercise program, consider your current health and abilities. Maybe you should get a physical before undertaking such a challenge.

What are you going to do in the New Year? I love you all <><
