HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!!!! Yesterday, many of us were "REFLECTING" upon things that have "TRANSPIRED" throughout 2015. Many things may have been "GOOD" and many things may have been "BAD"- ...but nonetheless, if you are reading this message, that means that good or bad, "YOU HAVE SURVIVED!" So that there is reason enough to "STOP FOR A SECOND AND GIVE GOD PRAISE!"

Each year, like many of you, I am asked by someone what my "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION" is. For the past few years it's been the same. {"I RESOLVE TO NOT MAKE ANY RESOLUTIONS EXCEPT TO ALLOW THE LORD TO LEAD ME AS I FOLLOW HIM IN ALL THINGS!"} That way I KNOW my focus will be on the "RIGHT" things, and things "WILL" actually get DONE- for HIS glory and NOT my own.

That being said, I don't know what all God has in store for us for this NEW YEAR, but {I PRAY THAT EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU WILL HAVE A HAPPY, BLESSED, JOYOUS, FRUITFUL, GOD HONORING & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2016!} I look forward to "ALL" that God has planned for us all- and especially those who God has allowed to "CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY" with me. {I THANK THOSE OF YOU (AND YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE) WHO HAVE BEEN "REAL & CONSISTENT" with me and who ALWAYS, ALWAYS "HAVE MY BACK!} I LOVE YOU ALL MY FRIENDS/FAMILY! <3 

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:

{Isaiah 43:18-19}- DO NOT REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS, nor consider the things of OLD. 19 Behold, I will do a NEW thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?

{Philippians 3:12-14}- 12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I PRESS ON, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND AND REACHING FORWARD TO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE AHEAD, 14 I PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
