The Party's Over

Turn out the lights, the party's over.....

It was a good one, but I'm ready for some rest.  The whole year has ended on a high note for me so I'm not at all complaining but I'm looking at the year ahead and starting to be on high alert for some major changes headed my way.  In order to conquer what's coming, I need to rest up.  

I'm not a big resolution maker but I do try to look at ways I can improve or things I can tweak in order to simplify life just a wee bit.  This year I'm keeping it uncomplicated - I just want to be whole.  My motto is the following verse:

People with their minds set on you,
   you keep completely whole,
Steady on their feet,
   because they keep at it and don't quit.
Depend on God and keep at it
   because in the Lord God you have a sure thing. (Isaiah 26:3-4)

There really isn't a scenario for which this doesn't apply.  It's all about patience, perseverance and faith.  I'm not going to act like it's always easy but the concept is simple - trust God.  Relinquish control and let go of things that distract.  When you finally realize how to do that, it is amazing how things actually fall right into place.  I've had good practice over the last year and my aim is to keep at it - just like the verse says.  I am the new Energizer bunny - I just don't quit!  I know a sure thing when I see it.
