Time for Change

Good morning and Happy New Year! I've been encouraged/harassed about my lack of blog content, SO once again, I will rise to the challenge. I guess I need lots and lots of motivation :).

Well, as I've seen in other blogs, I too have been thinking of the new year and what that means for me. I know this is going to be a big year of change for our country, but what I'm really, really concerned about is change I need in my life. Right now there are some mountains I see in my life that really need to be moved, but I am at a loss as to how to move them. Obviously, I need the Lord's help here! So, I am going to rest in Him to give me the answers in His time and His way. Interestingly, I challenged my middle school S.S. girls to memorize our week's verse, so here it is Thursday, and I thought I really should also learn it. Remember my plans to memorize a verse a week? Well, that only lasted about 5 weeks, so this verse will be my first for the new year:

1 Peter 5: 6,7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift up in due time. Cast all your care/anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

Wow, that's ironic, isn't it? The very thing I need - to humble myself and cast my cares on Him - is staring me right in the face! Thank you Jesus! With you (Jesus) I know these mountains can be moved.

Thank you all for being my friend. I know we will have many opportunities to continue to make many memories this new year! I look so forward to it!!!





On a side note, my sister in law told me of this website she's using to read the Bible through in one year, and I've joined her in this, so I thought I'd share it with you too. Check it out at http://bible.oneplace.com/
