Sittin’ and thinkin’: A wonderful “New Years Plan” by Mary Fairchild…I tried to think of a clever new phrase–A slogan to inspire the next 365 days. A motto to live by this coming New Year, but the catchy words fell flat to my ear. And then I heard His still small voice saying, “Consider this simple daily choice: with each new dawn and close of day. Make new your resolve to trust and obey. Don’t look back, caught in regret or dwell on the sorrow of dreams unmet. Don’t stare forward anchored by fear, no live in this moment for I am here. I am all you need. Everything. I Am. You are held secure by my strong hand. Give me this one thing – your all in all; into my grace, let yourself fall. So at last, I’m ready; I see the way. It’s to daily follow, trust, and obey. I enter the New Year armed with a plan, To give him everything — all that I am.
