How big we are ‘not’ is evidenced when we stand face-to-face with everything else, including ourselves.

Although I too often see myself as powerless, the fact is the New Year is what I make it. And whatever I make it is what it makes me.

Let us not fall prey to the leaching negativity and rank pessimism that runs unleashed all around us. Rather, with the utmost determination we must bring ourselves to understand that these lies have been given legitimacy by people who thought themselves as powerless in the face of them, rather than recognizing that we have the power to rip the face off of them.

I get so caught up in praying for a way ‘around’ things that I completely miss the fact that God has already ‘removed’ those things. And it is then that I realize that I had imposed my weakness on God’s strength.
