One time around the sun, 584 Million mile journey, what will be the banner over your journey this year? Will it be said about you that you grew in wisdom and stature?

God has gifted you with opportunity, ability, and experience. This can be the year where you put them together for the Glory of God, or another year can pass by as they are so prone to do. So you have to decide; how will you steward what God has given you in 2018?
