It's Almost Over..... we're down to hours....

Yeah, 2014 is on it's way out. I can remember when we looked forward to a new year - had bright new ideas for the new year, things to do, etc. And now, as I sit here and ponder 2015 coming in tonight..... I wonder where have I come from, and where do I want to go? Do I have any 'goals' or 'resolutions' for this coming year?

I have nothing. Well, I suppose I could sit down and seriously think about some goals. Losing weight is always a goal, as is getting out of debt. But what else? What could be some good goals for this coming year?

Read at least one book a month? That is a good goal. Enrich the mind.

Experiment with a new (cooking) dish once a month? Another good goal. Feed the body.

Get organized? That has been on my list for 20 years! Probably won't happen this year either.

Get uncluttered? Doubtful that will happen as well.

There are probably a few other things I could list.... but are they of any value - to anyone - or to me?

So, for now, I'm just pondering what I should choose to change in me. What do I need to work on. I'm talking one specific thing, not 'my life'.

I'm planning on doing a 21 day fast again in January 2015. Instead of January 1 through January 21 as before, I'm thinking of doing it January 4 through January 25th. Sunday to Sunday to Sunday - and ending on Sunday. In fact, this Sunday I speak at one of the RV parks - and my topic is from Matthew 6:25-34 - "First Things First". May be I can influence someone else to take a step of faith to see what God can - and will - do in their life.

I just had the most amusing experience! One of our directors just came in and was acting up - being silly (and I have never seen her that way!) and she was doing it for 'my' enjoyment - not knowing that my boss (who is her boss as well) was in her office! Cracked me up!

With that - I think I will ponder some more on what I want to gain from 2015. Certainly not weight! But what do I want to achieve. What about you? Are you setting goals? Resolutions? Going to quit...... Going to go....... Going to treat others better? Quit yelling? Quit forming your own opinions - and verbalizing them? Going to straighten your life out and get it on the right track? Going to pursue a new job? Going to excel in the one you have?

The choice is yours. What are you going to do?? Happy 2015. May your new year be all you want it to be. You have a blank page tomorrow. What are you going to fill it with?

Blessings!
