With Christmas gone and New Years right around the corner, because I probably won't have time to write on New Years Eve, (my best friend is arriving and I will be very distracted), I wanted to talk about 3 things: materialism, resolutions, and patience.
Stuff, that's a word that is constantly being used in my vocabulary. I mean that is what all physical things are, stuff. Lots of things have no purpose and ultimately, those that do, we can't take to heaven anyway. I'm not saying having "stuff" is bad, but having "stuff" just to have it, or to take the place of God IS bad. We are told not to have idols, or anything that we worship more than Christ.
Another popular thing is New Years resolutions. A lot of times we like to "make changes" to ourselves, but we don't stay changed. This year, I want to be closer to God, more stylish, and (of course) to set the world on fire. I hope and pray that God will use me this upcoming year in ways I never dreamed possible.
Last, we need to be patient. As I mentioned my very best friend is coming next Monday, and I can't wait, however, I need to be patient or I will never make it. I am learning that everything requires some waiting, so practicing that waiting now, isn't a bad thing. Anyway, I hope you have a happy New Year, and you will use 2013 to set the world on fire!
