Endless Possiblities

-

It's a new year with endless possibilities.  Right now, on day two, my slate is clean!  Nothing is holding me back for sweet success in every area of my life--because it's JANUARY 2nd of a brand-new year.  

I can dream big, believe, and yes, it could happen.  

What will I accomplish this year? 

Will I write another book?  (Maybe!)

 Will I finally clean out that closet?  (It's the one I'm afraid to open.)

Will I read my Bible through? (Well, let's not go crazy!)

Will I be a better manager of my time? (I have a new amazing planner!)

 Will I be willing to step out of the boat?  (With a life jacket on of course!)

Will I journal every day? (I do have a lot to say...)

Oh, the pure joy of a brand-new journal with its clean white pages.  That new journal is just waiting for all my thoughts to spill out and cover the pages.  

Yes, it's a new year with endless possibilities.  

I wonder what the Lord has in store for me in 2019.

I read this verse today in Isaiah 43:19-20(NLT), it was like the Lord saying, here ya go.  It's your new beginning.  And you know what, I liked it!   

“...I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness...
Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland
so my chosen people can be refreshed."

Wow!  Yes, Lord.  I want 2019 to be just as Your Word says--make pathways when the roads are impassable.  When everything around me seems parched and dry, I say, yes to Your refreshing rivers.  Thank you Lord for the promises in Your Word.   

What’s your verse for 2019? 

Lay claim to it, and fill the blank pages of 2019 with good things from the Lord.  

 He gives us endless possiblities!

    Amen. He does give us endless possibilities. I pray I don't overlook any of those special blessings.

The Waiting Room

"Wait!" "Have a seat, I’ll be with you in a minute." "It's going to be a 45 minute wait to be seen." We have all heard these phrases.  Even as I write this, I’m reminded of the cold, hard reality that if I’m left too long in  the waiting room ...it doesn't bring out my best qualities. Waiting has never been my strength and while we’re at it...neither is sharing space or taking turns. A few months ago, I found out that our family is getting new health insurance.  I was not excited about this.   It’s not that I’m overly loyalty to any insurance brand, but my family doctor for the past eight years, has won me over with her promptness in seeing patients within minutes of their appointment time and sometimes even before the scheduled appointment.  I will go so far as to say that she has a “zero” wait time in her office. Now, I'm sure you think I’m exaggerating…and I may be just a bit, but there has been many times in my years with thi

A Bright Light

We have an electrical problem at our house.  If the TV, fireplace and garage lights are all on at the same time, and then I try to blow dry my hair--it's not gonna work.  When this happens, I have to go out to the cold dark garage to find the breaker box.  There have been a few times when I actually went out into the darkness and kept moving in the general direction of the breaker box when I realized, I can't see anything. I'd return to the house and look for my phone to use it as a flashlight.  Once I was in the light, I could find the breaker box and get the lights back on. In Isaiah 9:2, there is an announcement in scripture that a bright light is coming and that  light will shine on all people giving them a way out of the darkness.  The coming of that bright light is what the  story of Christmas is all about. In John 1:4-5 it says,  “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”  There are 1
