I love Decembers. It’s our favorite time of the year! And to be truthful, our December really begins on the last Thursday of November – Thanksgiving. We get a little over one month to celebrate new life, new seasons, hope and love with family and friends! We also get opportunity to be a blessing to many people! Got to love it! It’s just awesome!
But there’s more… The month of December is perfectly designed to be a pivotal time of transition. Amid the parties and times of celebration, I take this month to review the previous eleven months. I try to archive as much as I can. I see the areas where I failed and the areas where I won. I see what I accomplished and where I lost battles. And with this in mind, I begin to write out my plan for the next eleven months.
December is a gateway month which ends in celebration. It transitions us whether we like it or not. We might as well leverage it and use it to chart and plan out our yearly journey in our lives in Christ.
I challenge you today, don’t just use December for buying gifts and attending parties; use it as a time of assessment and processing. Use this month for transitioning with clarity.
