The 2013 Plan

Resolutions?
Nope.
None.
Seriously.
Not making any this year.

However,
I am taking claim in 2013.

Claim of God's promises.
Claim of His everlasting love.
Claim of His plan.
Claim of His control.
Claim of His TRUTH.
Claim of His GRACE.

I am claiming the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 -
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Plans to prosper you, not to harm you.
Plans to give you a hope and a future.

And in order to claim that promise
And to drop my type A-ness
And leave it in His hands,
I will need to seek help and prayerful support of Psalms 27:14
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

And when I am tired
Beat
Exhausted
During the waiting
I must also claim the promise of Isaiah 40:31 -
But they who wait for the LORD 
Shall renew their strength; 
They shall mount up with wings like eagles; 
They shall run and not be weary; 
They shall walk and not faint.
Oh...and this song
Might not be such a bad one to start off every day
And end every night with.
