A New Adventure

The year has started out with a chance for a new adventure.

Until this year, I have never been one to make resolutions at the start of a new year. And I have to say, that I probably still won't be making resolutions, per se.

But, in going through the devotion for the 1st day of the new year with my daughter, she reminded me of an important life lesson.

This is what I learned:

• I am never too old to make a fresh start.
• I am never alone in making a fresh start.
• God will see me through ALL He has called me to, one day at a time, one step at a time, and in HIS time.

The start of the new year gives me a chance for the start of a new adventure. The adventure may have some bumps, potholes, and ditches along the way. I may get a flat tire or two, bump into someone's rear, or be in an all out wreck on the adventure, but each new day brings with it the opportunity to bask in the glory of my Lord and the adventure He has brought me on thus far.

So my only "resolution" for the new year, is to be open to whatever adventure God has me on.

Contentment isn’t a state of organization, a weight on the scale, a state of better: better kids, better marriage, better health, better house. Contentment is never a matter of circumstances; contentment is always a state of communion — a daily embracing of God. A thankfulness for all the gifts – and moments and life, just as He gives it. Trying harder may only bring harder trials and contentment, it won’t be be found in the resolutions, but in the revolutions – in the turning round to God. ~Ann Voskamp
