Each New Year's Eve, my family and I pick a scripture from a box of pre-written scriptures which then becomes a point of reference for us throughout the year. This year I picked Ephesians 3:12 "In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence." At first I looked at it and didn't really think that it was a "good" one like everyone else's. I didn't see the magnitude of what God was really saying to me at the moment!
He wanted me to see that I could come to Him with any and everything at any moment with the freedom and confidence to know that He happily wants to answer my requests.
I didn't realize how soon I would need to stand on this scripture. I was quickly brought to a place that needed some "knee time" and I didn't feel the freedom to approach my Father. Praise God, I remembered His word and I could go to Him knowing that He was waiting for me to come to Him and that His response was already planned! He's already proven Himself to be faithful to me and the year has just begun! I can't wait to see how He moves as I pray in 2008.

Happy New Year
2007 is over and I can't believe it! I learned so much last year, too much to write about here. It's all written down on my heart, tucked away where only God and I see the details. Last year embodied difficulties, struggles, confusion, and pain. Walking through trials is never easy, its never the chosen way to learn and to grow-yet God makes it necessary. James 1 tells us to count it all joy when we face various trials. I'm so glad that I chose to rejoice in the midst of my pain last year. Rejoicing caused me to grow, it caused me to see God's perspective and to mature in ways that I never even imagined.
2008 awaits new miracles as we embrace the difficulties that may come our way. I've decided to trust God when life is good and when life is bad.
This year I aim to become the very best wife and mother that I can be. This year I choose to serve those that God places along my path with extreme joy. This will be a great year simply because God's promises are true and I've chosen to believe them and to walk in them. Why not make the same choice?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
