2015 - New Day, New You!

I've been asked multiple times this week what my resolutions or goals for 2015 are.

I woke up early New Year's Eve morning to catch the final sunrise of the year and thank the Lord for all that He has done for me. The show was nothing short of spectacular! I don't know how the Master Artist keeps outdoing Himself.

As I stood on the banks of the Neuse River a couple quotes circles around in my mind. "I may not be where I want to be but I'm not where I used to be" and "nothing is wasted." 2014 has been a good year. There have been some bumps here and there but I'm stronger today than I was 364 days ago. Every experience I've had, good and bad, is preparing me for what's ahead.

I have no doubt that 2015 will be amazing. There will be awesomeness and there will be disappointment. There will be days that I am full of hope and peace and there will be days that I doubt. There will be days I eat healthy and days that I eat chocolate cake for breakfast. Days I workout till my limbs are shaking and days I sleep in. There will be days that I am faithful to God and there will be days that I fail Him. There will be days when I trust His plan and days I try to make my own path. Days that I laugh so hard I cry and days that I cry and want to be alone.

So what is my goal for 2015? My goal is to live my life in a way that honors Christ. I don't expect to be perfect at this goal but I will give myself grace. I will live by the verse:

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness." ~Lamentations 3:22-23

I want to live my life One Day at a Time. Every day is a new chance to get it right. Whether I venture down the wrong path, fall off the diet or workout wagon, or make a poor choice, I can decide to make it right again at any moment. I don't have to wait until January 1st 2016 to start again. I will live in and embrace each moment of 2015 that I am blessed with. You never what the day will bring and He is able to do GREATER things than we could ever even dream! I don't know where the coming year will lead me but I do know that if I follow close to the One who has already been there I will be in good hands. :)

Have a Blessed Day and Year my Friends!
