Editor’s Note A s you prepare to say good-bye to 2013 and hello to 2014, take a moment to reflect on the life lessons you learned this year. Perhaps you had to endure some difficult trials, disappointments, or set-backs that tested your faith beyond your own understanding. No matter what the challenging circumstances you experienced this year, the good news is that you don't have to take last year’s worries into the New Year. The New Year will have enough worries of its own. As I reflect on this year, I am reminded of the scripture verse that says, “but one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are ahead”(Philippians3:13). God does not want you stuck in yesterday’s regrets. He wants you free from your past and excited about your future. God in all His goodness has His favor in storage waiting just for you, but you cannot receive it if you are still grieving over something that no longer has any place in your life. Now is the time to move on. So when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, make sure you turn the page on 2013 and start a new chapter that begins with “2014 will be the best year of my life.” God Bless You!
