2011 kick-off..start it out right..

employ these principals & 2011 will be your best year yet..

*Don’t let mistakes of the past blur your vision for the future. Focus on the good to come.

*I am willing to go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere—so long as it’s forward.2

*People are always blaming their circumstances. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.3

*Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.4

*“When you pass through the waters … they shall not overflow you.”5 God doesn’t open paths for us in advance of our coming. He doesn’t promise help before help is needed. He doesn’t remove obstacles out of our way before we reach them. Yet when we are on the edge of our need, God’s hand is stretched out. Many people forget this and are forever worrying about difficulties which they foresee in the future. They expect that God is going to make the way plain and open before them miles and miles ahead, whereas He has promised to do it only step by step as they may need. You must get to the floodwaters before you can claim the promise.
I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”6

*Faith gives us courage to face the present with confidence and the future with expectancy.7
