I’m so embarrassed!
Back in November I posted I was taking a break from writing so I could study for the Lifestyle Medicine Boards. (I passed, BTW! Thank you for your prayers.) My intention was to start posting again after taking the boards, but one thing led to another, life got incredibly busy, and now it’s been a month and a half and I haven’t written in weeks. Like I said, I’m so embarrassed!
The wonderful thing is, I serve a God of second chances. Even though I dropped the ball when it came to this blog, He’s right there to help me start again and get me back on track.
He’ll do the same for you. No matter how bad you’ve blown it, no matter how far you fall short of the goals you set, He is always there for you, ready to forgive and to help you make a new start.
So, if last year didn’t go quite as planned, if you, like me, had good intentions, but fell woefully short of where you hoped to be, don’t give up. It’s a new year, a new beginning, and God is eager to help you make a new start.
As you begin this New Year don’t let the mistakes and failures of the old year hold you back. Instead, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,…press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13, 14).
May God bless and guide you in the coming months and help you to always aim high, remembering “with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26).
