Time passes to quickly. It seems that each month it passes faster. The scripture that says that our lives are just a vapor James 4:13-17 are so true. We're hardly here and then it's over. So many things happen in such a small span of time. We grow from baby to teen to married life to middle age then old age then death.
This is what I want to talk about today. The things that happen between Birth and Death. If You've read my biography you know that life hasn't been easy for me. Although I've had many blessings along the way.
Today as we approach the end of this year and the beginning of a new one I look back in amazement at the things that God has done in my life and the things that I've over come. The biggest I believe was learning to totally let go of self and die to my own desires and allow God to have my desires each day. Living and dying are a process. Just as we die in the flesh with age..we must die in the spirit as we allow God to increase and ourselves to decrease.
Usually by this time of year I'm making plans for the new year. Knowing I've learned from the past one the things that I never want to go through again. But, this year I'm going to do something different. I have only one plan and know that can change. From today on..I'm moving over and allowing God to make the plans. You see it doesn't matter what I desire, if He doesn't desire it for me and doesn't help me bring it to pass it's not His will so it's not mine either. I want HIS will for my life in all things. I desire HIS blessings and the life HE has planned for me.
So, I have recovered from a broken leg and also from a broken heart. I'm laying it all down to cross the line to the new year with a right spirit and a clean heart. My final words of wisdom for this year... we must decrease so HE can increase. God bless You richly in the new year. Yvonne
