As the end of 2010 approached I was reading on my facebook. I began reading the same thing; "glad to see you go", "won't miss this year a bit", "worst year of my life", no sadness to see this year over". Then I noticed it was coming from those individuals who much younger than me...my kids age. I realized a very important thing once again; they just have not lived long enough.
Every year has the bad in it. Every year. Every year has the good as well; it is so much harder for us to focus on the good however. Good thing s happen every day. Yes I said every day!! Many times I think we just miss it.
This past year was a really bad year for our family, yet at the same time it ooozzzzed of God's grace and provision. Never have I seen the Lord provide so much, hear his voice more clearly, learn more valuable lessons, and want to be better because of the events in our lives.
My challenge for the new year is not to look at it and say, "Wow, I hope nothing bad, tragic, or painful happens this year", but rather to say the a Mighty God, "Lord whatever I need to be more like you, that's what I want for 2011".
Happy New Year everyone, may God turn our world's in a way that glorifies Him and not what is more comfortable for us all. Welcome 2011!!!
