Preparing to head back to Longview

Happy New Year!


What are you going to do for God this year?

I know for me, I tend to focus on selfish plans at the beginning of the new year. Plans for how to better my life, to do what I want, etc. But when it comes down to it, that's not what we should be thinking about. I've been convicted that my primary goal for this year needs to be to glorify God, and do His will - no matter the cost. I'm not comfortable with this - but I know that it is the best way to go, and I plan to live by that philosophy.

I'm getting ready to head back to Longview on Sunday to finish up my time at LeTourneau - if God wills it, I will be graduating on May 5. I have used Christmas break to start making some more contacts about possible employment after I graduate - two of the companies I contacted told me they aren't currently hiring, but to go ahead and send them my resume. One responded a couple hours later, asking for more information and references, which was encouraging. I'm not just seeking a job somewhere, I want to please God and do what He wants me to.

Let me know how I can pray for you, and ask yourself - what are you going to do for God this year? Then do it.
