A clean slate . . . . well sort of!

As we look at the new year ahead of us. I think about the blank, the clean, the fresh start that comes from the New Year! What's done is done for 2010 and 2011 is so full of possibilities. What did you promise to do, to change, stop doing for 2010? Did you complete it? For me it was lose weight, get healthy and grow closer to God. Well, I did lose weight but by March I was packing it back on. If I was not eating right then I was not being healthy and then the last one. As much as I try I always feel that I am two steps behind where I should be. I always feel that my walk is not as good as it should be.

Revelation 21:4-6

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, it is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirt of the fountain of the water of life freely.

I am so glad that God can make all things new. So as we look ahead to this new year, I am glad that I can start over and try again to make myself better. I can work on my weight, I can work on being healthy and I can work on having a better relationship with God. And when March comes around and I find that I am not sticking to these promises I have made to myself, I can rest assured that God makes all things new and I can start over whenever I need to!!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Our family was blessed beyond means. So many people who gave a little more to help our family have a great Christmas. To those of you I say "Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You will never know this side of heaven how much this meant to our family!" I am praying that God will bless you with a new year full of great and wonderful things!!
