I am pretty excited about the start of a New Year. I have undergone a lot of changes, endured lots of experiences and made some incredible friends. While some doors have closed, many more have opened. The biggest being my own heart. Letting my heart be centered where it should be - God.
I have discovered that every moment of your life, whether it be an event or a person you encounter, there is an ultimate plan. Even when you have faced loss, anxiety, pain or suffering there is no telling how those hard moments can be used to help others or to even help yourself. I am so thankful for the people who walked into my life this year. Most often without them even knowing that they have had such a profound impact on my own journey. I am incredibly thankful for a God who can see the absolute worst parts of you and not only love and forgive but can lift you up to be even better then you were before.
Although I have had a lot tough lessons I feel so much stronger then where I was this time last year. I am refocused and ready for what life can bring. I am excited to say there is a peace and contentment that was lacking in my life. My heart is filled again.
So here goes 2013!
"So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 5:15-20 (NLT)
