An
Angel says, "Never
borrow from the
future. If you
worry about what
may happen tomorrow
and it doesn't
happen, you have
worried in vain.
Even if it does
happen, you have
to worry twice."
We
all know about
New Year's Resolutions!
But, I for one
am going to try
to practice a
little godly wisdom
this year. The
list below has
some suggetions
that I believe
will greatly enhance
the quality of
my life. I pray
the Lord will
guide and strengthen
me to follow these
guidelines in
2005. There are
many challenges
in this present
world we live
in and we need
to be better prepared
to face them.
Many of us have
taken our blessings
for granted. We
need to live more
responibly, taking
care of and using
the gifts God
has given us.
Repentance means
to turn from our
sins and walk
in the light of
the truth of God's
purpose for us.
I pray we can
all stand taller
and stronger and
grow in the Lord
as never before.
Please
join with me!
Love
in Jesus,
Genelle
