BENJI
 It’s a new year and the kids are up getting ready for school again, and we are up readying ourselves for work and whatever the rest of this week and this year have in store for us. It’s the natural feeling to want to do and be better at this time of year, hence the flurry of resolutions and agreements with ourselves. We want to reach the next level, achieve something greater, and make a bigger impact. But as any gym owner will tell you, it’s not too long before we give up on those dreams and settle in for another year of discontent. We do this because we try to push ourselves and expect it all to be easy. My wife is an incredibly perceptive person and said this to me: "If your wanting to get to the next level, stop waiting for the easy way elevator...its broken. Take the stairs, one step at a time." Whatever you set out to achieve this year, take it one step at a time, ask for God’s blessing and seek guidance in God’s word, have someone else keep you accountable, and enjoy life as God grants you peace.
