December 31, 2005

This was a day of incredible occurance.

I found today that I am by no means beyond many things I thought I was almost past .

I found today that while I had thought my year-long journey with God would make it easier for me to resist the temptation posed by girls, I was sorely mistaken.

I found that while I thought I had a pretty good plot of what God wants me to do, He can still throw you a curveball sometimes.

As I was driving with a friend, I mentioned how I would just like to pick up and move out of town, or just try a lot of new things in life. As I said this, I looked outside of my car and saw a neon sign at a church with the following phrase (or something very similar):
"Journey into the wilderness with faith in 2006"

So I guess maybe I'm seeing that there will be a few new things for me to do in this year to come.

I realized shortly before midnight that there was no possible way I would make it to my friend's house before the clock struck and the new year began.

As the clock strikes and a new year begins, how many people look to God to make their next year better than the last? But how many of us, on New Year's, look to save ourselves, and solve our own problems instead?
