Happy New Year

Another year. Another chance to get it right. I don't do resolutions, but there is something to be said for setting new goals and trying new things. Don't really know yet just what those are going to be for me this year, but as they come to mind, or are given to me, I'll share them with those who read this. I'd like to think I'm doing more than just talking to myself here, but it really doesn't matter. Somewhere along the road, someone will happen across this blog just in time to read the perfect post for what they need at the time. I do not believe in coincidence. God plans, God prepares and God makes happen what He wills. I am an instrument in His hands and as long as I stay tuned, He will use me for His purpose. What more can we as His children ask for? To be used for the glory of the God of the Universe. What a calling! And we all have it! All of us who claim to be born again believers have that calling; just to be available to whatever God Himself has planned for us. Amazing. Awesome. Completely incomprehensible. To me at least. But I don't have to understand it to believe it and I don't have to understand to be available. It's actually probably better if I don't understand everything. That would be just a bit scarier than I could handle and I'd likely run screaming into the night. So, by faith alone, not understanding, not logic, not pre-planned itinerary, I follow the King of Kings and my Father in Heaven into the daily adventure that is life as His child. It's quite a trip. Are you following? Or are you waiting for understanding? Don't wait. You'll miss the best parts.

Have a great new year. For His glory.
