Happy New Year!

After almost deciding to stop writing this blog, I decided I wasn't quite ready to give it up just yet. My journey with God isn't over yet...after all..I'm still breathing..so I will continue to write. The subject for today...what are my goals for the new year?

- I really do want to lose weight this year. I have been reading and listening to sermons about how we need to honor our bodies as a place where the Holy Spirit lives and as such, mine needs a little remodeling. So on Tuesday I will start Weight Watchers. We shall see how it goes.

- For a while now I have been wondering what to do with my relationship with God. As things have been back on track for a while, it's now more of a what do I do to continue to grow in knowledge of Christ. I have committed to God to read a Psalm a day and to really reflect on it, slow down when reading, and really take it all in. I want to love that Book and rely on it above all else.

- I heard something today that intrigues me. "God is more concerned about changing us than He is in changing our circumstances." Wow. That hit me right between the eyes. Throughout last year there were many times when I asked God to change my circumstances. Most of the time He didn't but I sure can see how He is changing me through those circumstances. This year as 2010 is here and the first day is almost over, my prayer is God, continue to change me and may I be moldable as clay and submissive to the changes that you bring in me. Maybe I be less-focused on my circumstances, and more focused on seeing you working in my life to bring about what is good."

- There are other things I would like to see happen this year, but above all it's about what God wants anyway, not my plans but His. So, here's to a 2010 full of the faithfulness of a God who always fulfills His promises to us.
