(no subject)
Looking back at last years new years resolution I wanted to comment on it
Paragraph #1 from last year: I want to grow into a deeper knowledge of the things of God. I need to spend more time with Him also, I believe. I have been lacking in my quiet times and that’s not good. I need to focus more of my energy and emotions on his Word and meditate on that. And I need to slow down and just let him be God in me. I hope that He does a greater work in me this year, I guess that is my prayer.
Comment: I do see a lot of growth in some areas of my life, yet still so much to do. I wish I would have had more time to be with God and not be so caught up in the business of life. I would definatley say that I still would like to make that a part of next years goal as well. I long for God to be my complete joy and peace and refuge in times of trial.
Paragraph #2 from last year: I want to be excited for what is ahead. I want to be excited for all the new friendships I’ll make and all the new experiences I will have and I just want to know his joy in a greater way. I want to stand firm on the solid rock and devote this year to a time of seeking his face in a deeper way. I hope that my relationships become more fruitful in the things of God. I desire to walk in the relationships that God has called me in and grow and bear much fruit in those relationships. I hope that I can see new perspectives on things and just grow into the fearfully and wonderfully made image of God that he has called me to be.
Comment: I have definatley made a lot of new friendship this year. I had felt like God was going to double my amount of friends in the beginning of the year and i think that it has happened. I have so many great friends that are so encouraging, it is just unreal. And I love knowing that even friends who are far away are just a phone call away. (thinking of u Stef) It is so awesome. I loved especially the fruitful times of talking on the way home from bible study with Michelle and Tammy. Its always enlightening and encouraging.
Paragraph #3 from last year: I also hope and pray that my fears, insecurities, and confusion becomes weaker. I hope for a time of healing and renewal in Him.
Comment: Huh, it is hard to see exactly how far I have come in this cause I can't remember all what I was facing a year ago. But I definately see a lot of progress although I don't think I am totally where God wants to bring me to yet. I think there are still some areas that I need to continually surrender to him. I see I am at least on a path to finding a clearer way. Almost like the path is begining to clear a little and I can see a little better.
Paragraph #4 from last year: I long to be a witness and example to more non-christians. I want to be used as a light in this crazy messed up world. I hope my light will shine bright. And I desire to increase my prayer life. I believe God has given me a heart of intercession and so I want to continue to practice that. I also want to read more joyce meyer type books.
Comment: Well, I haven't done much witnessing this year. But then again I don't know what kind of impact i have had on people who may be watching me without my knowing it. And I think my intercession has not really increased... whoops.
I hope this next year is a little more stable in all aspects. I gotta reflect a little more about some new goals before I write it out.
