Obviously, I've been away from my blog for quite some time. Two years! And I've learned a lot in the last two years. I will attempt to share some of my insights with you.
I started this blog while recuperating from surgery in the fall of 2009. Since that time, I've had other small medical problems, but nothing like 2009. I shouldn't have let the blog go by the wayside.
It's a new year, so let's get started. I'm starting the year with hope because I just had an article published in Christian Communicator magazine. I've also just completed the Christian Writers Guild Journeyman course.
What are your resolutions for the new year? Are they already broken? Maybe we should eliminate that word from our lives, along with the word "failure." Let's fix what's broken in our lives. Let's learn so much from our "failures" that we think of them only as extra steps on our journey. And, most importantly, let's divorce our mistakes from who we are as people. When we make a mistake, it's just that-- an error we can correct next time. Our failures are NOT representative of who we are. Our value is not a result of whether we succeed at school or work or in our favorite sport; rather, it comes from what Jesus did for us on the cross. Would He really die for you if you weren't worth every drop of blood He spilled?
Now there's a reason to begin the year with hope. Until next time . . . .
