Happy New Year, Messiah family! Do you make any New Years Resolutions? Maybe try to be more organized, to eat a healthy breakfast every day, or work out more? Are you good at keeping those New Years Resolutions longer than a few months? (Or a few days... if you're like me!) It's easy to get frustrated and bogged down when resolutions fall by the wayside. It's easy to give up after a few missed days or a couple mistakes.

Everybody struggles with their walk with God, with consistently doing the right thing. Even Paul wrote in Romans, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do... For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." Sound familiar? The good news is, however, God isn't asking for a perfect record when it comes to following him. He simply asks that you pick yourself up again and continue following him. It's a daily choice, maybe even an hourly choice! And it's the most important and rewarding resolution you could ever make. 

Yours in Christ,

Camilla Richter
