I was wondering how to open this year’s first post. Should I simply write Happy New Year with balloon fonts? Perhaps draw the New Year baby coming onto the scene? It did not seem an appropriate message for the time. Actually it is… but not for me. A scripture popped into my head. Checking on it found it to be an appropriate response to last year’s dilemmas and tests. It also speaks to faith in the year to come. A purpose! A destiny? So I will share it with you:
Philippians 3:13 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, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
The Holy Bible, New King James Version, (Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson, Inc.) 1982.
May your journey this year bring you ever closer to the prize as you press toward your goal and calling this year.
Have a “Blessed New Year!”
You too Joe.
We miss having you around … in both the blogging world and the real world.
