It’s the first Friday of the New Year. Got plans?!

The first of anything we do is usually thrilling!
First word.
First step.
First kiss.

We get as excited as the picture above when we hear, “Once upon a time…”, because a new adventure starts! And “In the beginning…”, is still stirring, whether Genesis 1:1 or John 1:1, because the stories of our creation and salvation never get old.

The new year is no different.
We get a new start, a new story begins.
There are lots of firsts we explore.

Got any FIRSTS planned this year?

First date?
First child?
First grandchild?
First dance with the one you’ll choose to love forever?

First degree?
First Hollywood film?
First album release?
First step towards owning your own business?

First jump out of a plane?
First cruise?
First vacation?
First vacation out of the country?

What’cha wanna do?

Make Your List

If you haven’t already, go head and make your list. Maybe it’s not a list of firsts, but a list of do-overs or getting-things-done, but whatever it is, write it out. Make it plain.

You’ve probably heard this saying before:
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it…” (Hab 2:2)

That’s what the Lord said to Habakkuk after the prophet lobbied several complaints at the Almighty about how bad society had gotten: violence, strife, injustice! Sound familiar? God’s response was two-fold: 1) Write down what’s going to happen and be patient, as it will come to pass, and 2) The just lives by faith.

Now to be honest, I would NOT have wanted to be at the receiving end of the vision that God laid out for Habakkuk concerning the recompense of the wicked, but this principle still stands: You got a vision? Write it down.

Happy First Friday

Happy Happy! And cheers to all the firsts coming your way this year. I’ve got a few of my own I’m writing down. Oh! You didn’t think I’d share these wonderful gems with you and not do it myself?! LOL!

Looking forward to a fun, full year,
Naima
