The Best is Yet to Come!

Recently, a local magazine came out with a "best of" list for 2009 for our city. There were many list concerning eating establishments, clothing stores, cake decorators, catering and the like. It was very impressive except for the fact that I was no where on the list for say...."best blogger" or "best cyber pastor" or anything else! Maybe next year.
One thing that I thought about when viewing the list was that we as a people have a great capacity to thrive during adversity.We are also people who make choices. Our choices make us who we are. Let me expound.

If you decide to live in the past, you will have limited or no future. This is your choice. If you truly believe that you have lived your best years, and it is all downhill from here, you will be correct. However, if you believe that the best is yet to come, and you choose to work hard, make a goal, develop a plan, and follow through, I can assure you that your future is bright. No, not all of your dreams will come true, but many will. Not everything will be easy. We are a product of our decisions, and many times things beyond our control happen that prevents us from accomplishing said goal. You cannot change certain things, and need to learn to let them go. Only change what you can. Keep moving. Keep beleiving. Keep putting Christ first. If you do these things, I am sure that the best is yet to come!
