new year musings

     Yesterday was the last day of 2011. Today is the first day of the year 2012––a fresh new year, the first two months of which will be filled with writing "2011" on biology quizzes and then erasing it because it isn't 2011 anymore.

      I would like to post a quote from one of my favorite books (Anne's House of Dreams - in the Anne of Green Gables series).

"I reckon that whatever the New Year brings us will be the best the Great Captain has for us––and somehow or other we'll all make port in a good harbor."

     I love thinking of the New Year this way. The new year is filled with the best that God, or the "Great Captain," has for us. God only has the best in store for us! Doesn't that make you feel so secure?

     It's this true security, security that comes from casting your cares on God, that assures us that the best is in store for us, and that we will "all make port in a good harbor."

     My new year's resolution is to live every day to the fullest, to the glory of God. I want to run for the eternal prize, like Paul talks about in Philippians 3:14: I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 


     Happy new year, everyone! What are some of your new year's resolutions?
