Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

The lovely picture above consists of "high resolution". If you're familiar with photography/film and the terms, you know high resolution implies it's clearly and distinctly defined by color, light, contrast, and detail.

If you're discussing New Year's resolutions, you will think of defining goals, specifics and details particular to your desires or needs.

Simply put, I don't make resolutions. There are certainly "things" I hope to avoid in the new year, and there are other things I genuinely want to make happen, but I'm an "in-the-moment" type of player and confining myself to goals I might not be able to achieve or others that only I think I should attain makes zero sense to me. Promising myself to accomplish specifics has failed me more than once, so instead I let the year play out day by day in hopes of actually doing things that God wants and tells me to do without interfering with His plan for my scheduling.

So. January 1st, 2017, finds me spiritually hopeful. Apart from the Lord, I can do nothing. Period.

I do ask that all my cyber friends and visitors will be able to do whatever they deem important or necessary to fulfill whatever needs and desires they have going into this new year. Thank you each so much for coming here and may something I write or display or comment on provide blessing, encouragement, truth, and love to you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    Happy New Year, All!
    I’m with you, Nicole. Making resolutions usually is a set-up for failure, so why do it?
