Ahhh first post of the new year! I would like to wish everyone a late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I've been on the road this past week and haven't gotten a chance to blog. So maybe next time I'll have to actually take my laptop with me ;) Did everyone have a wonderful New Years?? I can't believe that it's already 2012. Yikes. But I'm definitely looking forward to this year, even though it'll be a crazy busy semester. Full speed ahead, Captain! There's so much I'd like to do this year, and a lot that I want to do differently. I can't do it alone though, and here's my "New Year" verse as I look forward to the future.
Not that I have already attained, or am I already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Jesus Christ has laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. ~Philippians 3:12-13~
I'm not perfect, and I still have a ways to go. I can't change myself on my own; I need the Lord's help. And so I will press on, I will keep on going and push forward. Someone once told me that "The past lies behind us, and the past lies to us." The past lies to us in that either it's better than we thought it was, or it seems much worse than it really was. Instead of worrying about all the mistakes of yesterday, I'm going to forget the things behind me, and instead live today. Reaching, not towards an earthly goal, but a heavenly one. And I know that with the Lord by my side, I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
