It's a New Year!
Are you one of those people who makes New Year's resolutions? I'm not! I have too much to fix to wait once a year! I'm not what I want to be, but THANK GOD I'm not what I used to be!
I like new things. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new." (II Corinthians 5:17) I like knowing that God can make something new of me. I like knowing that God's mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
I remember a time when I felt like I was stuck with the way I was - that change seemed overwhelming. I had been a Christian for years, but I had very little hope. I needed something new. I asked God to remove anything from my life that was coming between Him and me. If I had realized the full extent of that prayer and the events that would take place in the coming years, I probably wouldn't have said it. But there it was... and I would soon be yanked out of my comfort zone! The first big challenge God confronted me with was to stop smoking back in 1998. I know as a gospel singer this is not something I should be advertising, but I did - I smoked for over 17 years. And I just could not continue with this habit... this area of "non-surrender"... that was hidden in my private life. God did not deliver me miraculously - it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but God brought me through that time. I learned that if I don't get an immediate answer, God would still bring me through! I found hope again. I know that He will also work right there on the spot. Now that I have hope God will move in my life, He does! "I want to know that God is with me every morning as I wake - that He'll be there to guide me down each path that I must take. I know Jesus is the answer as from His word I read - sweeter gets the journey when I'm following His lead." We made new friends, ministered in new areas, and received new blessings from God that we had not allowed Him to give us before. I can't wait to see what will be new in 2005!
