WHAT YA THINK IS GOING ON IN THIS YEAR, 2020?...

                                                                                   

I started New Year's day 2020, saying a cute little phrase, I thought. Thinking it would be fitting for this unique numbered year, I would say, "I'll see 2020 in 2020".  So, am I SEEING in 2020?  I think I am, but IT'S JUST NOT COMING INTO FOCUS. It is an out of control feeling I am having day by day, can't help but think it has to be good for me.  

Just read an excellent statement on FB by a young man, Dylan Franklin. He was expressing the same kind of things living in this time of the "What's "... 

...he said, "if you asked what God has been teaching me in 2020, the answer is simple. "Dylan, you don't write your story, I do." I thought I had this year figured out. But God started to chip away at parts of my plan until I reached a point a little before summer camp where I quite literally had nothing of my plan left. In my quiet time, I felt God calling me to focus solely on my relationship with Him, my ministry this summer, and to forsake all other things as distractions to these goals. I had no idea why, but God had a plan." I thought this wise young man's quote fit well with my thoughts as I was typing. 

As I sat here at my desk, I noticed one of my favorite verses on a plaque that I need to focus on because it is the Truth. 

I once heard this poem quoted by a preacher years ago, it goes like this.. 

"So on I go not knowing, I would not if I could. I had rather walk in the darkness with Jesus than alone in the light." 

I hope this speaks to you as it has me.  I'm glad God has a plan for this 2020 year.  We'll look back and say it was a year I learned so much.  It was a time of growth and re-focus on what life is really is about....I know some people had losses and some gained.  I saw a sign the other day that was such an encouragement and I end with it...
