I feel like it's the first day of the rest of my life. This past year has been a great milestone in my life and it has set me on a new path with a greater passion.
For too long I said, "I'd like to do this or that," but never taken the steps to make it happen. This year I decided that I would "do" and not just "talk." It wasn't a resolution, but rather it was a goal a new direction. The end product, which is still a work in progress, didn't happen overnight. It was small do-able steps. As each step produced results, I began to take greater steps. Each step required a new level of commitment and suffering, but each step's subsequent result was greater than the previous step. I continue to set, achieve and create new goals. The process doesn't end!
While the outward transformation has been most evident, I am thankful that my God has used this opportunity to show me the need to transform my inward man. How do I transform the inward man? Small do-able steps! Not a new year's resolution (those are easily broken and quickly forgotten), but a goal and a new direction. What if I don't meet my goal or achieve my step in the defined time...I reset it and keep going. It's about the overall process.
God "Create in me a clean heart!"
