2010 has been a crazy year and in some ways I'm glad to see it go. It was the year we lost our mom. Nothing prepares you for the loss of both of your parents and the reality is just beginning to sink in.
Without sounding too dramatic, it was also the year of change in my job situation. I think I'll just leave it at that for now.
For Christmas my sister gave us all a box to write 25 of our wishes for the coming year. With expectancy she told us to "just wait". We won't believe how many of them come true. When trying to come up with 25 wishes, I quickly learned that 25 wishes are a lot different than 25 prayers. I found myself wishing for things I would be embarrassed to pray for.
When trying to pinpoint my one prayer for this next year I still have a few hours to figure it out... as well as my first Scripture Memory Verse for 2011.
I'm excited and looking forward to what God is going to do in my life next year!
Happy New Year!
May God be even bigger than anything you can imagine. Invite Him into those secret places that you're too embarrassed to share with the whole wide world.
Keep.
Believing.
God for the impossible!
By faith... angie

Oh Angie... I love the idea of putting wishes/dreams in a box and opening it up at the end of the year. And yes... I too would probably be embarrassed to pray for some of my wishes. I am excited about the 2011 Siesta Scripture Memory verse! I thought I would have to start w/out my spiral... but it came in the mail TODAY! I already have my verse picked... I will post on my blog tomorrow! I am hopeful I can go to the gathering at the end of the year! (that might just be one of my wishes)
Happy New Year dear friend... I love you!

Ang,
Annette and I talked about Joy yesterday. Even through the rough spots of 2010, the Lord's joy was evident. I know health and seeing things through is a big part of 2011.
The word He gave me for 2011 is: Glory...I pray we see His glory in every area of our lives and through out our country and the church.
Love ya!!! Wish you had been sitting in my den drinking coffee with us yesterday.
I'll echo - what a neat idea about the box of wishes...
and
it's been a rough year for us, too - loss of Craig's Dad, my faithful dog, change in job situation...I can relate so well.
Praying God blesses you and Lincoln as you grow closer to Him, and closer together this year.
