Transition 2004 :: 2005

2004 really flew past didn't it?
I'm looking back at the year and was reflecting on a couple of things :
1) Q : If there was one thing our Lord has taught me, what is it?
A : There is no shortcut to growing spiritually. We must learn to practice what we learn, as we learn it. Heb 5:14 "but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil"

2) Q : How victorious have I been in my Christian life?
A : I have failed in many battles, while learning victory through Christ in some. I think I fail more than I win. :( But I must press on...

Things I want to improve on (with our Lord's help) next year :
1. My prayer life. I think I haven't been praying enough.
2. Realise and practice in my life what Paul says : "Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice".
