Happy New Year!

Good Morning! Phill 3:13 Brothers,I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do; Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. So here we are,the start of yet another year. As you look back on this year,was it one filled with loss,tragedy and sorrow? Or was it one filled with happiness,joy,success and achievement? It doesn't matter! It is done,it is over with. But I have 2 questions I want to ask you. One! How do you think God looks on the past year of your life? Did it bring you any closer to Him? Did it expose any weakness,or find you wandering away from Him? Was God disappointed with your responses to the challenges of life this yr? Second! What lessons did He teach you this yr? What lessons do you need to take from this yr to the next? And going into this yr,What needs to change and how will that happen? I shared this with my guys last night at CR. We are all on a journey! Traveling down a road. The fastest way we can get to the goal,(Vs 14) is to keep pressing down that straight and narrow road. But so many of us get taken down some side streets or hit some pot holes along the way. But our main goal should be to get on that road and press on towards that goal. Pressing toward the prize. Which is to be with Him forever in Heaven! I don't know about you,but I'm getting my Sketchers on for this one. But what I'm really trying to say is, No matter what happened last year,don't be bound by its failures. But remember its lessons and take them into the New Year with you. In Psalm 111 it says, He has caused his wonders to be remembered. Remember what God has done for you this year. And press on into the next one in obedience to Christ! Have a Blessed Day and Happy New Year! I hope God Blesses you Richly!
