We may be looking ahead to the New Year with varied feelings: anticipation, uncertainty, fear, resolutions for change.
Like Paul, we can say, “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” - Phillipians 3:13-14
We can walk together into the New Year, step by step, with Jesus.
