Rejoice, a New Year!

It's a New Year
It's a New Year
It's a New Year Yes indeed
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Let it be good for you and me.

This time of year people start making new years resolutions, or word or verse of the year decisions.   Every year I am tempted to join in.  And every year I start something, thinking of a verse or a word or a theme… and then I stop.

I’m always checked by two things.

  1. I don’t want to make a promise I can’t keep
  2. I don’t want to inadvertently limit myself or God. 

Maybe these fears are silly, these checks in my spirit.   Maybe they are unwarranted.   

I don’t know.

I just know that they exist.  That all these plans or hopes that I might have, I need to just let them rest.  To set them aside and be the person that I am.  One who rests and waits. Who does her best to take each day as it comes.  Perhaps it is simply that worrying on such things sets my heart to fretting and God would rather I not do that.  🙂 

Why write?

I want to encourage those of us who don’t make resolutions, or verse of the year, or word of the year that it is JUST FINE not to do so.  To not get caught up in all the plans and decisions made at the beginning of the year.

Read the posts … be inspired.   BUT don’t feel pushed to do something just because everyone else does.   If you are checked in your spirt, don’t ignore it.  God means something when he does that, even if we don’t understand.

Go into this New Year with hope!   We serve a risen saviour!   Battles will be fought, lost or won, but in the end, the main battle has already been won.

Rejoice oh believer… a new day is upon us.  See the wonders that God holds in store for us  🙂

    Blessings to you, Annette. I’ve done all 4: resolutions, verse for the year, word for the year, and none of the above. And I have to agree with you, we need not feel pressured or swayed either way but rather allow God’s Spirit to guide us.
    I hope your New Year is bright and blessed.

    Absolutely! It is not for everyone. In fact, I wasn’t going to this year because nothing was inspiring me. Or maybe too many things were. Then I heard a wonderful sermon that really hit home and it become my hope for the year. Or maybe my idea and I have created a plan to help me grow.
