What do you think about between Christmas and New Year’s?
- Blessings of the past year
- What the New Year will bring
- People you met
- Resolutions or goals
I count my blessings and contemplate changes. With that come
prayers of thanksgiving and the memories of lessons learned in 2014.
This year I’ve chosen the word ‘follow’ for 2015 because I
want to intently listen to God’s direction. On a different note, I need to be
more intentional in what I read. As much as I enjoy reading light-hearted
romance and mystery, I need to up the game this year and add more meat to my
book diet. And I plan to continue a practice I started mid-year 2014. Jot down
notes at church during the sermon and communion devotion, and then record them
in a notebook throughout the following week. The scriptures and any good quotes
hit the page. By doing this through the week, I experience the message again. I
hope to pass the book on some day.
I don’t consider these resolutions, but more life enhancers for the open book of 2015.
I pray I keep my focus and follow. It will require me to read my Bible more,
pray more and be still more. Maybe I should adopt the word ‘more’, too. Here’s
hoping for a fantastic year!
What are your thoughts for 2015?
