New Year... New Nosilla?

Well, it stands to reason that a new year is a great time to look over your life and see what changes you would like to change. To reflect on last years good intentions and how badly I might have missed the mark. The best part is that there is always hope. If I try to look for it. I want to choose to be happy with the last year, move on from the various trips around the mountain and go from there. There was alot of change in my life last year. Most of it for the better. Some not so much. I would really like to take this next year and take those things and rise above them. One good things that I have is that I am not alone on my walk to see what I should change. There is a measuring stick, for lack of a better word, that I can see. God has made us physically in His image. Genesis says so. He loves me enough to make me to look like Him. Now I just need to act like Him. While seemingly unattainable.... its the road that makes life worth living. The best part is GRACE. I do not have to hit the mark perfect EVERY time. He instead just calls us to try. Forgiveness is one of God's best gifts. So, I am going into this year with Hope in my heart that no matter what comes my way, I will stand. And that I can make the character changes that overcome my human being nature and instead reflect the nature of my Father God.
