Looking Back to Look Ahead!

As we wrap up yet another year, let me suggest to you that you spend some time taking a look in your life's rear view mirror. Take some time to evaluate this past year. Look at how you have grown (or not grown) in different areas of your life. Count the many ways that God has blessed you. After this backward look, then take some time to look ahead to the upcoming year. I think we often fail to progress in our faith journey because we fail to reflect and set goals.

To help you, check out Don Whitney's article, "Ten Questions to Ask at the Start of a New Year or On Your Birthday." You can download the article at http://biblicalspirituality.org/newyear.html.


May God richly bless you and yours in the upcoming year of 2008! Happy New Year!
