2010 –> 2011

it’s so crazy how much happens in just one year.  As we near the beginning of 2011, I am able to look back and see how faithful God has been to me — He truly has blessed me with so much.  I started this year with the theme of “Growing Deeper Roots,” and I see how in planting my roots deep in God this past year, that my foundation in Him has grown so solid.  Just like a tree, when it is a seedling, it is easily uprooted… yet as it grows its roots even deeper, it can withstand so much more.  That’s the woman I want to be, firmly rooted in Christ… no matter what my circumstances or environment may want to do to uproot me..

now as I go into another year, I see so many transitions and positive life changes that will take place for me:  I will graduate from seminary, I will hopefully start a new career in full-time ministry (job search has now begun), and will get married !! and then hopefully get a new puppy  hehe.  I am so very excited about this upcoming year and feel so e x t r e m e l y blessed.   With so many new and exciting changes, it is all very surreal how I feel my life is now actually beginning.. as I transition into what feels like real adulthood..

I was able to go home to spend Christmas with my family, and I can just feel how different things are getting, as we all grow older and experience life’s new surprises/changes, I realize how precious time is… how quickly it passes and how much can change in a moment.  I was asked me the other day the question, “do you ever think about a moment in your life, where if you had made a different decision, how different your life would be now?” ..  and it’s really interesting to think about..how our decisions and commitments really define us..

yet in the midst of where my life is now and everything that has happened to me up to this moment, I am completely convinced that God orchestrated everything… so perfectly.. up to this moment.  I just know I’m exactly where God wants me and I see how my faith in Him has grown by reflecting back on God’s provisions, and trusting him even more for future provisions.. especially as I step into so many new territories this year.

so my prayer for you, is that you may also be able to use this new year’s.. to reflect on God’s faithfulness to you and allow that to secure and strengthen your trust in a God who never changes and is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.. For if He proved faithful to us before..He will prove faithful to us again through the many blessings, and life changes

Pray that you have a most happy new year   May we trust that wherever we are in our own life, that God is faithful… our solid rock in which we stand
