2016: Great Expectations


I have high expectations of the year ahead. I’m not talking about resolutions. I don’t care much for resolutions. I’m inclined to think they’re silly. If you want to make a change, just do it. You don’t need a new year to change things, you just need a decision. 
But I digress. 

I’m in the home stretch to my thirties, and I fully expect my thirties to blow my twenties out of the water. All this time has been prep. I expect to cross that threshold. And things are gonna change. 
I expect my thirties to realize some major things. Sorry, let's not get ahead of ourselves. 


I have some specific expectations for 2016. 

I expect to have more confidence in 2016. I expect to be more self-assured in 2016. I’m disinclined to live by other people’s opinions anyway, but I expect 2016 to be a turning point. This might not make sense, but I expect to have a surer footing in 2016. A stronger foundation. I even believe that 2016 is a launch pad for all the dreams and purpose I’ve been longing for. I expect that 2016 will be a year of intimacy with the Lord. A closeness like never before. I expect that 2016 will be a year of revelation. Which only makes sense. Intimacy breeds revelation. 

I expect 2016 will answer questions; a lot of questions. 
Ultimately, I expect 2016 to be a good year, full of obedience and new challenges. 


It's time to start rehearsing these words. 
Get a mark on the target so I know what I'm aiming for. 

So here’s 2016. A whole new year.
