With the dawning of a new year there comes the wonderful opportunity to leave an old weight or hindrance behind, consolidate a good thing that we have already started and introduce something new that will benefit our life. Rather than have a whole list of resolutions that may not make it past the end of January, why not try something far more simple.
Leave something behind that you don’t want to carry throughout the coming year.
Consolidate something you started in 2008 and want to continue in 2009.
Add to your life something that you want to commence and establish in 2009.
Personally in 2009:
I am determined to leave behind an old fear that has been dogging me for a long time.
I am consolidating my commitment to SOAP Bible Study.
I am going to spend more quality “quiet time” with the Lord each day.

At the end of 2009 I am going to look back and see how I went.

i think we all have fears that dog us for long times.
I think part of leaving mine behind could be confronting it.
And SOAP has been great, its something i want to continue throughout 2009.
I think if I start spending more time focusing on God glorifying and praise worthy things then i find it helps brake off the old and the ugly in my life.
My struggle has been consistency to the end.
But for some reason i know that Grace will be there not only to help us start well but to end well.
