New Year! New beginnings? I'm reading Doug Sherman's book, More Than Ordinary: Enjoying Life with God. As be begin 2014, consider his words: "I lay awake at night wondering how my life had become so dull and gray. I thought I was doing the right thing by providing for my family, and on one level I was. But I had slowly become consumed with success and frustrations at work. I was spiritually sleepy, largely unaware of God's presence in the course of the day. . .It was not just that I was living a lesser life; I was thinking less of Jesus. . .I had slowly and subtly started navigating decisions and priorities on my own, and God had shifted from being my center to being an accessory. . .I had to ask for a new beginning after a season of drifting. How could He not be disgusted with me? But there was no sense of condemnation or anger, only His happiness at giving me a new beginning." Enough said!
