A New Year!

Back to blogging. It's been awhile...So much has changed in this last year, yet You have remained the same. For You cannot disown Yourself. I have found all of Your promises to be true, O Lord. Even when we are faithless, You are faithful. There have been a lot of first time experiences, but You have been there for them all. Thank You for the opportunity to live life one more day. Thank You for all that You have done in 2009 to make me ready for 2010. The journey has been hard, but so sweet. Thank You for opening my eyes. Thank You for your protection and provision in my life. Thank You that everything I experienced this past year, good and bad, left me knowing You and loving You more. You are worth it all. I look forward, with great expectation, to what this year might hold. Being confident that the greatest gift I will receive will be finding You, over and over again, in each and every circumstance You allow in my life. May I be quick to search with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength...knowing that You will be found. With everything You have given me in this world, You are still my greatest treasure. Forgive me when I get caught up in myself or the temporary things. Nothing this world could offer could ever compare with You. Help me to maintain focus, fixing my eyes on You...the Author and Perfecter. I trust You with all of my heart, and I know that You will direct my steps. There is freedom in surrender, and I surrender all. I know Your goodness and Your grace in a deeper way, and I am grateful. Lord, I pray that You would find me faithful. In spite of my hopes and fears, Lord, You know them all...May Your will be done in my life.
