New Years: A New Clarity of Mission

Now is the chance to look at where you have been, a dangerous clifftop shrouded in fog, and see where God has brought you this year. The change may have been gradual, and hard to believe, and scary, but the ending is a morning of fleeing shadows and blossoming sunshine-- a winter morning all the same, but the best possible... the future is before you, a gift.

As you enter upon a new year, let it be with an earnest resolve to have your course onward and upward. Let your life be more elevated and exalted than it has hitherto been. . . . Aim to honor God in everything, always and everywhere. Carry your religion into everything.
-Ellen White

Muse no longer on the snowflakes filling up your hood or the cliffs with seemingly no end, ragged and brutal and cold. Even as we speak the Wind is moving, guiding the mist away as you have the faith to believe He can do it. And there it is before you, a clean plain of snow, awake and ready to be blessed by fresh tracks.

You have so many beautiful snow pictures - I really wish I could have made it up there to enjoy it... maybe next year.
