You know that feeling you get when you’re faced with a decision and you don’t know what choice to make? You are immobilized with the dichotomy before you. You don’t go here and you don’t go there, you just don’t go. 
Most of 2016 has felt like this for me. After experiencing some things that I never saw coming, I have lived most of the year treading carefully wherever I go, never fully committed to one way or another. 

It does seem easier to live this way. To not have to choose, to not have to commit or stand your ground for something. It feels safe to hide away and not let yourself live because while living can bring joy and love, it can also being hurt, sorrow, tears and immense pain. 

If we are to live Christ-like lives, we cannot hide away or be frozen by indecision or live in fear of experiencing pain, or for that matter, joy and happiness. 

This year I have missed 5 blogs. My goal this month is to make up for all of those blogs while still keeping up with the regular Thursday posts. I hope to move deeper than I have before and cover some topics that have caused me to freeze and decide to go the safer route. 

I’ll be praying that through these posts, I will gain a clear view of what 2017 could look like and what God is calling me to resolve to in the new year. 

I invite you to join me this month on reflecting on 2016, and more importantly looking forward to what God has in store for us coming up. Because I guarantee you it’s not the same old comfortable routine you’ve been living out this year. 

Our God who never changes is constantly asking us to change and grow in him and in confidence of who he is and what he has done for us through Jesus.
