New Year's Resolutions?

January 1...The day many people stop and review.... analyzing their life wondering how they can make it better. I have to say I also usually take this day to reflect on the past year and what things I want to be different this coming year. A few things I pray I will focus on this year....

1. Deut 6:5 May I truly and completely love the Lord with all of me!

2. Deut 6:7 May I continue to teach my children of the goodness and truth of the Lord God.

3. II Tim 4:2-5 May I be ready to minister and allow God to give me the boldness to do His work...fulfill my ministry! Jeremiah 20:9--per our conversations, Steph.

4. Jeremiah 15:16 May I continue to love the Word for it so often has sustained me in the time of trial.

5. Deut 4:9 May I diligently keep my soul before Him and not forget all His benefits (Psalms 103:2). May I be reminded continually and also remind my children of these things!

6. Romans 12:1-2 May I present myself to the Lord completely and "be transformed by the renewal of my mind"....and not conform to the world.

7. I Peter 5:7 May I cast all of my anxieties on Him and rest in His forgiveness and love....for I have allowed these anxieties to hinder my walk and my work for Him.

To have reckless abandon for Him not allowing my common sense to get in the way!!
