Happy New Year!

For the new year, 'Point of Grace' have a few resolutions that I'm adopting...
"Turn up the music, turn it up loud!
Take a few chances. Let it all out.
'Cos you won't regret it,
looking back from where you have been.
'Cos it's is not what you knew, and it's not what you did.
It's how you lived!".

For the Lord says, "Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun!" Isaiah 43:18

Have an awesome year people!
Enjoy 2012... as there are more amazing blessings yet to come.
