Happy New Year

In a season of reflection and resolutions, I would like to encourage you to consider the following:

Promising to perfect yourself in some way is not enough to change. Talking to others about the ways you would like to change, is not enough to change. Change takes work, sometimes hard work. Change may not be what we expected.

Ask yourself why you're making a resolution. What motivates the change that you're seeking in your life? Are you attempting to measure yourself against someone else's expectations for you, or have you clearly established a relationship with God - your maker and sustainer? He know the plans that He has for you.

Don't go into this new year, resolved to do anything that falls outside of God specific will for your life. If you don't know what His will is, or how to find it, that would be a good place to start.

God Bless you in your journey for 2007!
