Yes, the calendar indicates a new year has begun. 2014...yet, truthfully I should begin each day anew, no matter what the calendar displays, and I hope to do this. Yet, I am no different than countless others. When I see that January month before me, I think of new endeavors to pursue, a mini-bucket list, work goals I seriously want to pursue and complete, people, relationships I want to further, or again, pursue. I know these 'wanna-do's' may find a friend in procrastination, or more yet, unfulfilled results, but I say, make the list and pursue on...and I will.
I just want to remain a steady father to Abbey. To guide and encourage her in this last semester of high school. To hopefully equip her with some 'big world' tools..helping her navigate the perils, the darts and arrows, along with the wonderfulness of what is out there in the vast world...
As we have heard and lived..we can succeed, we can achieve great things, but surely we do fall, we make missteps, but it is indeed how we react to these missteps, how we re-charge when the initial charge was redirected, that is what we want to teach our children, and yes, still teach us who have endured a few decades on this earth. It is how we steer through the adversity, and also how we steer when the sails are expanded and the 'life-ship' is guiding so wonderfully well toward accomplishment, we simply have to propel through both waters, but also learn to stop..and be still.
I wish you all a year of sweet health, of accomplishment, of reconciliation with those that may seem out of the arena of reconciliation, a year that will see adventure and boldness. And may we all know..God is near..He walks with us...through the falling down, and He embraces us on the mountaintop. Praise God.
Onward forward...sail on...
Bill
