Wow, can you believe 2009 is actually here? It just seems like it turned 2008. IT wasa great year, but I am totally stoked about 2009! A few days ago, I was so just nonchalant about it. Yeah, 2009, whatever, a new year. But now...SO EXCITED about it.
It all started with the question "Who wants a Jesus year?" And I realized, well, yep that's something I'm totally down with. A year with my Savior and me would be great. Not just another average year. This one has so many opportunities for me, all because I've decided to live it with my Savior in mind. Yes, this is something that a person can decide at any time of the year, but with my obsessive complulsiveness about things like this, trust me, this is a great time.
It so excites and dumbfounds me that God is thrilled about my decision. Yes, a year with Him, getting closer to Him for me is nothing less than thrilling. But for Him to be thrilled to spend time with little 'ole me? Blows my mind. This is a year I don't want to lose track of our relationship. I know He doesn't go anywhere, but trust me sometime my mind does.
I want so many things out of this year. I want to seek Him more in my decisions. I want Him to be intimately involved in every aspect of my life. I want to stop being so daggum indecisive about things and live my life fully relying on knowing that He is with me no matter what. I want others to see Him more in me. I want to memorize His Word so that it is pasted in my heart. I want to know Him intimately and have my prayer life just grow leaps and bounds. I just want Him and my relationship to be the main focus of my life this year before anything else.
Of course there are numerous other things that aren't nearly as important that I also want out of this year. Did I mention that I long to write books? Lol. As much as I love to read, and I do mean LOVE, I've always wanted to be on the other end of the rope. As for if that will actually happen, we'll see. Perhaps I'm just meant to be a reader of other's books. But I really would love to write books for God's glory.
God, please just take this year and mold me into the person that you want me to be. I'm all yours.
I hope God sends blessings to you this year, Siestas.
