It’s a new year (Since I am somewhat of a procrastinator, I don’t really get around to acknowledging this big calendar change until February), and as we do with new years, we begin new starts on all kinds of things. I’m not much one for New Year’s Resolutions. I see them as promises I make to myself that, honestly and deep down, I have little intention and less hope of keeping. I do believe in new beginnings, though, because by God’s grace, I am one in so many ways.
And in the spirit of new beginnings, I start afresh with my little blog here.
As I’ve contemplated what it is I really envision for this foray into my online pontifications. I realized that perhaps I want to expand it a bit. My relationship with Jesus is so much bigger than my relationship with food – at least it is beginning to be – and so I am going to include entries along that line as well, regardless of their relationship to chocolate donuts, potato chips or my dysfunctional relationship with them. I still face battles with my eating habits and things I need to work through, but I as I consider the things I need to overcome, I find myself in awe of the great overcomer.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
There will always be things to overcome. Christ overcame them all, and through Him we can do the same.
Sooooo many things to overcome, right?? Such is life, and walking with the Lord. He will be faithful to complete His work in us! He must not be done, cuz we're still here!!
