I’ve just wrapped up about 2 hours of journaling and prayer, carefully considering this past year and glancing very quickly forward to the next. I won’t set specific goals, but rather, I now restate and recommit to the priorities that have elevated themselves in my attention and awareness these past eight years of my walk with Christ:

God

Health

Relationships

Objects

(GHRO)

I think my time this morning is summed up by the CEV version of The verse of today (Christmas day), Isaiah 9:6:

A child has been born FOR us. We have been given a son who will be our ruler. His names will be Wonderful Advisor and Mighty God, Eternal Father and Prince of Peace. 

(Personal peace, I think that is.)

My thanks to you for riding along with me on this journey – I hope you will continue onward, with as much anticipation for what’s next (“good” or “bad”) as I feel!

With love,

Marshall
