First, I would like to say that over the past few months I've composed a handful of posts but never published any of them. Not really sure why but part of me feels like I wasn't able to capture everything that has happened since the last time I blogged. I gave up on that. If you want to know more about what I did in 2012, just call me and we can chat.
Anyway, with the new year upon us, my Facebook and Twitter have been blowing up with peoples' statuses longing to become a new person in the new year. While I'm all for resolutions and change, (resolutions specifically helped with my hygiene in college - showering and flossing to be exact) I will never understand why people put so much hope into the new year. We will make almost arbitrary resolutions thinking they are going to bring us joy, or at the very least, bring us closer to satisfaction. Why do we waste our time trying to fix our image when it's our heart that is in need of restoration?
Jesus offers us new life, restoration, and forgiveness DAILY! We don't have to wait for a new year to be a new creation. He is always making us new and washing us whiter than snow! More than any resolution, I want to rest in this truth.
That being said, I have a feeling 2013 will be bringing new adventures, possible change, and a lot of great memories. Also, more blogging from yours truly.
