My step-son Malachi will be turning 11 years old on January 14th. We'll be going to celebrate this evening with the extended family. Next weekend will be the real fun - roller skating! I still do pretty good on a pair of skates, I guess but the guys are always whizzing around 'ole slow Mom....ha!
I am in the process of evaluating my goals and priorities this year. One of my resolutions is to read the Bible through and do it in chronological order this time, instead of straight through from Genesis to Revelation. I think this will help me in clarifying a lot of the historical context.
Another major goal I have is to get back in shape, and quick! With everything we had going on in the last year, my exercise regimen pretty much flew out the window.
The 2 scriptures below this post have really been on my heart lately. I enjoy listening to Jack Hayford every morning on my way in to work. He was speaking of discarding old baggage for a new year. I want to start this year with a refreshed commitment to run the race that Christ has set for my life.
If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to ask the Lord to give you a spiritual vision for His will in your life this year. He has already set the course for you - you can't lose!
Habakkuk 2:2-3
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
