Last year seems like a bad dream. The only problem is…it wasn’t a dream. The challenges we faced as a nation was something none of us were prepared for, and many of us thought we would never see. But last year also taught me some things. I learned a lot about myself, and I learned a lot about what God expected from and for me. I am a unique creation…enabled to do great things. We all are. It’s just hard believing that when all around us is chaos. 

At least it has been for me. I have learned though to allow the Holy Spirit to lead. I can’t be the director, producer, actress, and audience in the show. Everybody has a part to play…I just have to get out of the way. I have to trust that since God knows my ending from my beginning, He knows which way is best for me, and I am finding that when I listen to Him, things are a lot less chaotic. 

When we find our place in God, it is so much easier to accept who God has made us to be. I think we should always want to be better….to do better, to be the best we can be…we just can’t let it be our focus. Our focus has to always be on God. When we take our eyes off Him, we lose our way. This year, let us work diligently to keep our focus where it should be…on the Master. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

I am so excited about that!

Until next time…

Be blessed
