Facing a new day dawning..........

January 1, 2012. It is like opening a new journal. All the pages are blank. What are the words to be written on the pages of 2012? We do not know and can not know. Will I do things different in 2012? I know this, if I had known what would be written on the pages of 2010, I would have done some things differently. I have never been one to make new years resolutions. They seem to be promises that end up being broken with in a few weeks. I have always been one to take a look at the past year and reflect on what could be changed going forward.

Here are some things I can do:

Take each day, one day at a time.

Always show those I love how I feel.

Show gratitude to others.
Give thanks.
Live each day as unto the Lord. Sharing His love.  

There will be things happen that we have no control over.Things have happened that we can not change. Each of us is working through the results of these things. We can not give up, quit, succumb to despair or sadness. I am going to face forward. Looking towards the new day dawning. At the same time watch where I am going. (not trip and fall over a piece of wood and break my arm) For those of you who do not know, that is what happened to me last year.

By watching where I am going, I mean to keep my focus on the Lord. If I have learned anything in the past year and two months, it is I can do nothing without the Lord by my side.
There is so much more to living than focusing on me. Yes, I have experience a huge loss. I have faced the void left by that loss. Now I want to look up.
Walk with me. Let's go forward together.
