First, I have to say that 2005 was full of events and happenings I didn't foresee. Funny...as some of the events unfolded, I didn't know then that they were actually for the good. Vice versa, I had no idea that some were unexpectantly worse than I had thought at the time of their unfolding. I do know this: Romans 8:28 says that all things can happen for the good of those who love God. The causal factor here is that one must love God. That's me. The resulting effect is that in all things, He is working for my sake and good benefit. How comforting this is...
The next and second thing, naturally, is that my hopes and expectations for the year 2006 are high. How could they not? They could not only if I had no faith at all and fail to see and learn from the all the events in my life up to this point that reveal the amazing faithfulness of God. That would be both a tragedy and a sad mode of betrayal on my part. But I know that He is good. Too good for me, yet His grace extends His goodness to me. And I'm thankful that I am simply aware of this fact.
Let 2006 come...I can't wait to see what I'll see.
