As January is drawing to a close, most of us have thought about new resolutions and goals for 2008. Hopefully you are all doing great! Here in Texas, it is so cold, I seem to have "brain freeze", but am pushing forward. My husband Lee, being an avid sports enthusiast, read me a quote from Lou Holtz(former Notre Dame coach) I hope it will be a motivation as you continue working toward your resolutions and goals.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY.
GOD HAS GIVEN ME THIS DAY TO USE AS I WILL.
I CAN WASTE IT OR USE IT FOR GOOD.
WHAT I DO TODAY IS IMPORTANT,
BECAUSE I'M EXCHANGING A DAY OF MY LIFE FOR IT.
WHEN TOMORROW COMES THIS DAY WILL BE GONE FOREVER,
LEAVING IN ITS PLACE SOMETHING I HAVE TRADED FOR IT.
I WANT IT TO BE GAIN, NOT LOSS;
GOOD, NOT EVIL;
SUCCESS, NOT FAILURE.
IN ORDER THAT I SHALL NOT REGRET THE PRICE I PAID FOR IT,
BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS JUST A WHOLE STRING OF NOWS.

May God Bless you as you continue this journey with God in control, and you in obedience and zeal pushing toward the mark.

Love,
Sharon
