"As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, unremembering delight, nor with the flight of impulsive thoughtlessness, but with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us. Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ.
"Leave the irreparable past in his hands, and step out into the irresistible future with him."
-Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Dec. 31

i was doing my devotion this morning and that was the chapter i read. it was great something i had to read and think about. it's completely true and it just helped me to realize that i just have to leave it all to God and that he knows what the future holds for me.
