New Year, New Season

Here I sit in the back of a red van headed south, to the beach.  After some much needed sleep I’m listening to my family discuss what type of room we should get at the hotel. In my family there’s no such thing as reservations. I gotta admit that this wasn’t how I expected to be spending the day. Everyone keeps asking about this “new year” and how I’m gonna change it from the last…resolutions. Well, I’m not a fan of this kind of thinking. Every day is a chance to start new. For me this is a new season of life. Not to be cheapened by a New Year’s resolution. You know what I mean, the thing that you swear you're gonna do like workout and eat healthy...a week later you're sitting on the couch eating Cheetos. Everything has changed for me...job, school, money, perspective. I figured it’s a great time to tackle some things that I’ve put off and start some new traditions. Now that I have no schedule I might as well get back to working out every morning and preparing a real breakfast. The best part so far, has been staying up late and sleeping late. My natural clock is very happy with this life style. Also, I get a lot done between 10pm and 2am. No one calls or interrupts me then, I can get work done. After realizing that I have total freedom until the end of the month I decided to hitch a ride to the beach this week. I figured I could accomplish as much sitting on the beach as I have been at home. It’s not like there’s a lot of jobs to be had right now. The internet makes everything more convenient. It the midst of constant change and very little control I’m trusting God more fearlessly everyday.
