Nearing the end or beginning again?

   I have been blogging daily for a while now, but most of my blogs have been a short section from one of the books I have written. Today I am sharing a few thoughts from my heart with all of you. I must admit that there have been days when I felt blogging out my books was a total waste of my time. There have also been days when I felt like it was what I needed to do. At the momemt I am not certain about either of those thoughts. I have less than a month to go before I finish posting my current work. I wonder if that should be or will be the end of my posting of these books. Am I nearing the end of this effort in my life or am I reaching a new beginning in it? I am uncertain of which it will be.

 I am nearly done writing the third book in this series. I could probably have it finished before I am done posting this one. I could easily begin posting the third book in the series when I finish with the second I am posting now, but I question the reason or need for it. I seem to have a few dedicated readers, but I seldom hear any comments... so I wonder if they really read what I write or if they just recieve it and haven't bothered to let it go, even though they aren't interested anymore. Lots of questions in my life, but few answers, at least few clear answers. That is the way life usually works for me though. I seldom have been blessed with clear and certain answers. BUT I have indeed been blessed greatly in my life! I have been blessed beyond words to explain, and I still struggle to understand why I have been so blessed when I have wasted so many of my blessing over the years.

 As I have said, I do not know if this in an end or a beginning. In truth, I suspect that each day of our life is both and end and a beginning all in itself. With each new day we leave the old day behind and with it our past. The good things and the bad are both done and finished with for the day we have left behind. There is seldom much we can do to change what we have already done in our lives. BUT... with the new day comes a new beginning, a new chance to restart and rebuild. A chance to learn from our past mistakes and past successes. A chance to grow and improve our lives in the days ahead.

  While we can't change the past we can change the future. It is my hope and prayer today, as we leave another year behind, that each one of us will take a moment to consider the days we are leaving behind. We should all remember the past sometimes, but not try to live in it. The past is behind all of us and it is the future we should look towards. Open you eyes and hearts to the future! Leave your past behind you and move forward into a new day and a better day. May the Lord walk with you all the days of your life and may you remember to walk with the Lord as well. We often seem to forget that while He will never leave us... we often leave Him.

  I plan to try and walk closer to my Lord in the days ahead. I hope to see and hear from all of you as I continue walking with faith. This past year has been filled with failures and triumphs. I suspect that the new year will have both of those in it as well. I sincerely hope and pray that each of you will have far more success than failure in your lives in the New Year. I don't know what it holds in store for me, but I do know that with The Lord's help I can handle it... and so can each of you!
