-the New Year. Have you made resolutions? Or as someone at Faithfully Yours calls them Re-soul-utions. Lose weight? Exercise? Be healthy? Save money? What about your time with God? Have you thought about how He should be a part of these resolutions? Perhaps they will be easier to follow through on with God front and center...praying for strength and guidance and support through the goals...
We make plans and say we are going to do this or that - but really, we are cautioned to say "If God wills it". How do our plans line up with God's word and God's plan? Not sure? Then pray about it. I have prayed for 12 years for my bulldog pup - and it was in His plan - so my prayer was answered this Christmas. He granted my prayer. but he is not a fairy or a genie - He heard the desires of my heart and after 11 years of "Wait", God gave me a "Yes". He always answers s - prayers of ours to live in our beautiful cabin in the mountains, my prayers to find a man with a heart for God, prayers for my children's lives to be safe, God-centered and happy, prayers to be a help the clients I work with....and small prayers, like a beautiful day and a good cup of coffee and time to create. These are all the blessings God has granted me - and so many more I can not count. Even the ones that seem negative - losing a job - can help us learn what God has for us and how it is better.
So what are your blessings? What are your resolutions? How about a resolution to count your blessings and write them down every day? I think I like that one best of all...
Happy, Healthy New Year - Be blessed, Kim
