Welcome to the NEW YEAR! I am looking forward to a new horizon, how about you? I can honestly say that 2012 WILL BE BETTER than 2011. I know I said that at the end of 2010 also, but I really don’t think anything more dramatic can happen next year. As I reflect on 2011 and look forward to 2012, I realize that I am finally starting to recognize my identity in Christ. After all the drama of 2011, two things keep me sane. Molly is in heaven and I am getting closer to God. With my heightened awareness of God in my life, also comes the necessity to understand who I am. For years, I have been playing PARTS. As a young man, I wanted to be the best athlete I could be and therefore played the part of a “jock”. Then I got married and began trying to be the best husband and father I could be. Then came my business and I wanted to become a great businessman. All the while, I never really stopped and asked God what He wanted me to be. I finally came to the end of myself in 2011. Everything was taken away and now I find myself alone with God. It’s right where He wanted me to be all the time. Instead of chasing the wind and playing one part after another, God always wanted me to simply look to Him for my fulfillment.
