it's your turn

Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

- Matthew 9:17

2018

Wow, it is 2018.

I remember thinking that the year 2000 would never arrive, the turn of the century, a new beginning . . . and now it is 18 years later, crazy doesn’t sound so crazy anymore.

What will you do in 2018, what will you accomplish?

Will you have a breakthrough, a leap from ordinary to extraordinary?

Or will you hold back in fear of the unknown and continue to live a quiet little life?

It is OK to be afraid because whether we admit it or not, we all struggle, we all have doubts we all have this fear of failure, of looking foolish, of being wrong, just remember that with every advance we make fear will be there, because we are stepping out of our comfort zones.

We have a tendency to analyze stuff too much (not ME – never!!!!) and we end up talking ourselves out of a major discovery that could change our lives or the lives of people around us.

Imagine if you will – inventors, and the things that they invent, for example, the light bulb – it was a great breakthrough for Edison that is still impacting lives today.

So listen – the next move is ours.

God is there, encouraging us along the way, and He uses our “little” successes to accomplish a lot.

This is our year.

Every person has a name, every name has a story, and maybe, just maybe this is the year that we link every story to God.

Have a blessed day!
