New Years Eve 2010 Thoughts

I am sitting here reflecting on the year that is about to pass, and the new year to come.  I only have 7 1/2 hours of 2010 left.  I always can't believe how fast a year went by.  I hope I can really savor 2011 and not feel like it went by so fast.  I am listening to Michael W. Smith's song, "My Place in This World" on my little player at the bottom of the page, and I think knowing God has me here in this place, at this time, helps me a lot.  


I don't know what I would do if I didn't know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.  I want to lean on, trust in, and rely on Him for each day I live.  So, He is my reason to live and exist.  I want to thank Him for all the blessings and directions he provided for me last year.  All of my blended children and grandchildren and healthy and strong today.  I have an awesome husband, Ron, who loves me with all his heart, but loves Jesus more.  I live in a wonderful, warm, state - Texas.  I have a sweet church to attend and serve Him. 


In 2011, I am going to count my blessings often.  I am going to spend more time with Jesus, and hide more verses in my heart.    I am going to exercise and take care of my body more.  I think the one word for next year will by SIMPLIFY.  Make the MAIN thing the MAIN thing - knowing Jesus and loving those around me.  De-clutter my environment.  Little baby steps to each thing.  Live more of a stress-free life.  


Well, that is what is on my mind today.  What is on your mind at the end of another year?  Post your thoughts for us to read.

    Thank you for following me...now ive found your great blog! I have some spiritual goals this year too. I just worked on that today in fact. I think the main one is memorizing Bible verses. Im not good at this but know that is deficient in my walk with Christ. Have a great week.

  2. Thank you Carrie for commenting. I am so glad we are both wanting to memorize more verses. I will follow your blog and try to memorize your verses along with mine. Psalm 120:1...I just looked it up and I'm working on it.
