Happy New Year 2014!
Yet another year has come and gone. As I look back over the past year, I am in awe of where I am today. I am 40 years old, still single, and still traveling. Earlier this year I resigned from the job I held for over 20 years to begin a business with my brother and his wife, and I am in the process of starting my own proofreading/editing business. In the midst of life’s hecticity, I still find time to spend with my siblings and my nieces and nephews. God has been so good to me!
2013 was also the year for physical challenges. I hope the coming year is better in that regard. I need to strengthen my back and get some stamina so I can keep up with the work God has given me to do. I am learning once again what it means to rejoice in everything since this is God’s will for me. This becomes much easier as I see my Father’s hand at work. I’m so grateful that, in the midst of my struggles and doubts, He never left me. He simply wanted me to trust Him and hold His hand no matter what. He truly is my dearest friend.
I don’t know if I’ve ever made New Years’ Resolutions but, this coming year, I plan to continue to work on my health. I’ll try to work with my body to sleep better so I can put in a vibrant day. I want to seek Christ first in everything and have Him be such a part of my life that my will becomes His. I want God to use me more than ever before. He has a purpose for my life, and I pray to fulfill that purpose. I want to be the best sister, daughter, aunt, and friend I can be. I want everything I do to point people to Christ because there is nothing good in me that does not come from Him. God, help me to keep sight of that fact.
Maybe these aren’t resolutions as much as they are things God is showing me need improved upon. What do you see you need to grow in this coming year? Is there anything specific that you overcame in 2013? If you’d like to share, I would love to hear from you. I am so glad that God is still working on me, and I trust that, next year at this time, I will have even more good things to report.
Sony, I wish you the best in the coming year and Pray that God will look after the healing that it sounds like He has aready started in You. God Bless my friend.
Thank you, Tom. It’s great to hear from you. I hope your year is blessed as well.
Sony,
I wish you the best for 2014! Hope to run into you somewhere along the way!
Lynn, I’ve been thinking of you lately and was wishing today that I could see you somewhere. Keep an eye on our schedule. Maybe something will work out this year.
