2011 bye-bye...Welcoming 2012 FINALLY!
For a number of reasons 2011 seemed like a year of
sustainability. Many storms (family death, injuries, accidents) blew
through 2011…through it all God protected us, healed us, and grew us in spite of these storms!
Now here we are two weeks into the year 2012 and I seem to be doing
as much looking back on 2011 as I have been looking forward to 2012! Today I am changing that...
New dreams, news of family additions, & career opportunities
filled 2011. I can only imagine what God has in store for 2012.
For 2012 I am expecting, believing, & asking God to make
it the year of GROWTH!
I am not accepting merely getting by…
I am not accepting barely enough…
I am not accepting less then expected…
2011 is gone, and 2012 is upon us. I am living each day expecting great things:
In 2012 I will complete things I couldn’t do in 2011!
In 2012 I will focus on grasping what / who God has called
me to be!
In 2012 I will GROW!
Theme verse for 2012
Philippians 3:12-14
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or
have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which
Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not
consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting
what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on
toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
What about you, is it time to release 2011 and move into 2012? Is there something holding you back from welcoming in what God has in store for you in 2012? Have you set your goals for the coming year?
Growth is not easy, but only happens when there is
resistance. Growth occurs when you
fight the resistance, recover, and become stronger for doing so!
