New years means a lot to me. The symbolic value of finishing one year and starting another is something that I use in a lot of different ways, even when I was a kid there was something special about the arrival of a new year… a chance to make a change, to start fresh!
Looking back at 2007, I can say that it was a really GREAT year, probably the best one in a long time. I could write an entire book about things that have happened during the year (and what I have learned from it), the people I met and how they affected me and the way I view this world, the new relationships in my life that were built (especially my new best friend, whome was indeed my BIGGEST highlight of 2007) and I could probably also write a whole different book about my plans for the next year. But I know by experience that things usually don't go as planned, so this time I am not setting up any traditional targets. Instead, I will allow myself to be a bit of a visionary towards a very exciting future! With a very big smile on my face!
But something important that I think I should jot down, so that I can look back on this and remember what I should have done encase I do not, is that I want to work on my esteem in Christ. I know it is what needs the most maintenance. I cannot be the fullest in laboring for Him if I do not stop looking at my past as a WALL to climb to get to my future. I want to stop trying to make believe, in my heart, that my past is flawless! Somehow, some way I would like to reveal who I really am. What I am about.....my actual thoughts on situations from experience. Possibly make a positive difference in some one's life by using the damaging material from mine......reveal my real testimony. Now I am NOT promising anything, I am just saying what I would like to work on. :-)
and I may need some help......
Isaiah 43:19
"I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land."
(This is the God's Word translation,wich I do not usually use....but I loved the way this verse was spoken to me!)
