Have you made resolutions? Have you already broken resolutions? Easy come, easy go they say ;-0
I'm looking forward to seeing how God puts the puzzle pieces together this year. My big decision for 2011 is to trust in Him. That is something that can be as tough for us as keeping New Years resolutions, can't it? Sometimes we pray for God to act in our lives but have a difficult time accepting His ways and realizing that His gifts are even better than we can imagine. One of my favorite Bible verses says:
O my soul, bless God.
From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God,
don’t forget a single blessing!
3–5 He forgives your sins—every one.
He heals your diseases—every one.
He redeems you from hell—saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal.
He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence
Can't even begin to tell you how many times I've read those verses and I believe them to be true - but sometimes I lose sight of the truth when faced with earthly problems and challenges. Sometimes I get impatient with God's timing, sometimes the enemy talks me out of believing ....
In this New Year, I hope to do better with that. My goals (resolutions, I guess) are to read through the Bible again, listening to hear the spirit speak to my heart ... And I am going to redo a Bible study that truly impacted my life.
It would be awesome to have some of you join along on this journey! (Just click the blue words above to get started)
Many blessings,
