If you have been waiting on a new or first call, the new year can either bring a new sense of hope, or be a reminder of just how long it is taking for your next steps to be revealed. If you are tired and weary from having labored long in your current call, the new year may either bring a freshness that revives you, or be a reminder that you have yet another year of serving and working ahead of you. If you are ending a call, entering into retirement or closing a ministry that has lost its sense of purpose, mission or direction, the new year may bring celebration of a life well lived in service, or a sadness about ministry that became distracted and lost its vitality. Either way, the New Year has come and as it unfolds we may find ourselves experiencing a combination of emotions.
