"Where ever you are, be all there"

Jim Elliot wrote that. He lived such a life. He put everything that he was into the calling God put upon his life. Can we all say that? I would like to, with the Lord's help. This year, the Lord is impressing upon my heart the need to draw closer to Him. I want to know His Word more, let His love flow through me more, and be more bold to share the Gospel with those who are dying spiritually. There are other goals, too, which I am praying for this year, but these are the most important to me. I want God to find me faithful when I stand before Him on that day. It may be soon. We see the frailty of life today. God creates every life, and knows all its appointed days. He holds us in His hands. As I approach 30, I thank the God of Heaven for my health, His abiding presence, and His mercy upon me. 2008 is past, and now as the Lord writes His-story of 2009 in our lives, may we trust Him more, love Him more, serve Him more. This is His year, after all.
