<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>My Journey begins...In the beginning...Genesis chapters 1-3. God created the heavens and earth in the beginning. " God alone conceived, designed and ordered life - all of it, from man to the earth to the entire universe. Only His mind could conceive it; only His power could create it; and only His ability could achieve it." Quote from "Order My Steps In Thy Word" VPW.</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> I have learned that the earth is the reason for the universe and man is the reason for the earth and God is the reason for man. Man is the most wonderful of all God's creation and His Word says the greatest of His works is His Word. Life is a gift, it's a promise from God. So, on this first day of this new year lets live up to the promise and live life to its fullest being thankful to God for each new day.</strong></span></div>

My New Years resolution is to glean all that I can from God's own Matchless Word. I will be reading the whole Bible in 2013, and will share my journey with all who want to follow. This is not my first time but my second and look forward to finding gems of wisdom and rediscovering all of God's promises to me. Lets see what tomorrow brings Genesis Chapter 1-3.</strong></span></div>
