2011....

Exodus 12:2 "This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you"

With God's help I want to love others. I want to love my family and friends with a selfless love that focuses more on meeting their needs than my own.

With God's help I want to enjoy life at a manageable pace. I want to talk less and listen more. I want to be an encouragement to all I come in contact with and make time for more meaningful conversation.

With God's help I want to grow in my understanding of the Bible. I want to know Jesus personally, deeply and reflect more on his crucifixion and resurrection and the implications of those two realities in my daily life.

With God's help, I want to learn how to pray. I want to talk to God with honesty and humility. I want to be more focused on gratitude than personal gain.

With God's help I want to believe that I am who he says I am, replacing ALL my insecurities for the security of his love, grace, and acceptance.

With God's help I want to take risks in 2011, (and always) and live by FAITH and not by sight.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
