First, I need to apologize for so much silence in the blogging world. I am still here! All I can say is that life took over and the blog fell to the bottom of my list.
In only the first 12 days of this year, I am realizing that 2013 will rank amongst the best years of my life. If not even one more exciting or wonderful thing happened this year, God has already done enough to deserve 365 days of my praise! I need to be writing to preserve memories of His faithfulness.
Each new year brings us an opportunity to start over. We can make changes. We can dream about how life will be different as this year ends. We can commit to doing things differently...better. Most of my goals this year are spiritual ones. I want to memorize more Scripture, commit to daily prayer for others, and be more disciplined in my pursuit of God. In short, I want to want Jesus more. I began this year praying that God would give me a greater desire for Him that would lead to a deeper pursuit of Him. This alone results in greater service to Him and all those that He loves. I have talked before and will again about simply asking, but boy has He already shown up this year. I am experiencing a greater intimacy with Christ than I dreamed possible, the kind I grew up believing was reserved for only the really holy people who seemed to have some kind of special line to Jesus. I know that He is desperate for me, and I am desperate for Him. I cannot pretend to know what 2013 will hold, but I want all of the Lord's will for me in this year. I will hold on tightly, for this beautiful journey has only just begun...
