Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 

"There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity

under the heavens:

 

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to

gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to

refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace."

Happy 2014

Well, I didn't get it all done.  Not even close. 

And the enemy would like to dance right now over me sneering his excitment in my failures.

But, He lives here.  He resides right here in the center of this heart, and I. am. one. protected. girl.

You see, I am a dreamer, and a goal-setter.  So new year resolutions are welcome challenges, opportunities for growth.  But, they are always my personal goals.  And my reality is that I live with little goal-blockers.

The beauty of this chosen life is that if I will be still enough to see, each and every one of my failures - goals blocked - is His victory as I surrender one more time to His calling, lay down myself, and watch as He reveals something new and glorious about Himself.

I love Jesus. 

He is so wonderful, so good, so willing to teach the teachable heart.

Happy 2014!  May your new year bring you fresh and new opportunities to know Him more intimately, and experience His voluminous love.

"Do not remember the former things,

Nor consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing,

Now it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it?

I will even make a road in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert."

Isaiah 43:18-19

Day 199 Prayer Request
