so here we are, at the beginning of yet another year. it’s scarry to think of how fast the last twelve months have gone and of what all God has done. this morning i have looked back to see all of the answered prayers and those that i am still trusting God to answer. i see how God can create and give us this little tiny girl, who is now 8 months old and rolling all over the house. i can see how God has taken some of His dear children home and how that has affected their family and friends. but in looking back at everything, i see how God is in control, no matter how i see things or how i think they should go!
we just celebrated the birth of our Savior. in reading over and over the accounts in scripture, it doesn’t exactly make sense to me. the King, the real King and not elvis, being born into this world as a baby to ordinary parents, in the middle of no where, in a horse trough? makes sense to me? but all the while God was in complete control and was working out His will.
i have a few “resolutions” for this year, which i don’t normally like to do, but over all i would say that this year i want to trust God more and remember that He is in complete control. i want to bring Him honor and glory as He does what He does and allows me to be a part of it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Hey man, that is an amazing book! It is on my “Rooted Resources” list at Deeply Rooted. I had the exact same experience with the book as you describe here. As a matter of fact, I bought the book at the biggest Barnes and Noble store I’ve ever been to in New York City a few years ago. I found the book in one of the bottom levels of the store (yes a multi story B&N) while i was there killing time before heading to the airport to catch my flight home. I read the entire book by the time I landed in Greensboro that day. Absolutely and incredible book. It’s cool to hear that you are reading it too…enjoy!
