New Year

It is hard to believe that we have started 2009. It must be old age but I am sure the year is getting shorted and that extra second made no difference at all.

As we look ahead into 2009 what will a year hold? One thing we can be sure of is it will be busy and that that there will be numerous things that are calling for our time and energy. 

My desire is that I would be able to be a person who can separate the important from the urgent! It always amazes me that Jesus in 3 years could accomplish so much, with what today we would consider so little. No computers, no internet, not church structure, no mega budget. Just men and women who were committed to follow him, the power of the Holy Spirit and total commitment Jesus part to the plans and purposes of his Father.

What could I accomplish this year if I even got close to to living my life the way Jesus did - a life of total commitment to the plans and purposes of God for my life?

Looking back on day one (it's now about 6pm) I probably having done too well so far but my prayer is that I will get better and better at accomplishing this task as the days go by.

Wishing you all a happy New Year
