Reflections

¹⁴I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him. ¹⁵That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.   Ecclesiastes 3: 14-15

What a year 2010 has been.  I hope you had a wonderful year.  I have seen God do some amazing things and I expect even more in 2011.  I want to wish you a Happy New Year and I pray that you will be more blessed in 2011.  I want to thank all my readers for your support this year and the encouragement so many have given me.

As I reflect back on this year I think how there is really nothing new under the sun as it pertains to life.  There is nothing we ever encounter that has not been experienced by others or the past.  History does have a way of repeating itself.  We can learn from others, even from our past mistakes.  I believe that God really does use our experiences to minister and bless others – this is my heart’s desire.  I am finding more and more that I minister best out of my own experiences when I share with others how God carried me through.

In 2011, my blog will be changing.  My focus will still be on the word of God but I would like to get more personal and show how the word relates to our everyday experiences.  There is a word for every situation and every problem found in the bible.  Many things we experience today were experienced even in biblical times.  Whatever God does remains forever, so what He did for those in the Old Testament, He still does today.  I have been able to always relate a scripture, a person, or a story from the bible to whatever I am going through in the moment.  So I would like to share with you how we can find answers for many of life situations in the bible.

My blog will still be titled “Reflections” but I will reflect more on my own experience and relate a scripture to what I have experienced.  I also encourage comments and questions, and I have opened up my comment section.  You no longer need me to approve your comments; post what you like, but please no profanity.  At some point I will be moving my blog to its own website but will let you know of all the changes.

As we enter 2011 may we learn from 2010; for many 2010 has been challenging, but 2010 was just a preparation for 2011.  We should always look to go from faith to faith and from glory to glory.  Hopefully, your faith is greater now than it was in 2009 and it will be greater still in 2011.  Our best days are still ahead of us.  Tomorrow is a New Day and a New Year, most important God’s mercies will be New.
