12:47 am January 1st 2018. What a day. What a month. What a year…
As I’m laying on my foam bed wrapped in my Qatar Airways blanket, I am bubbling with thankfulness, rest, hope, and excitement.
I am thankful for more things than I could count in my entire lifetime- not an exaggeration.
I am rested because I just ended the old year and began the new year in the best way possible.. praise, worship, and prayers (bonus: around a bonfire, with a full moon, surrounded the MOST amazing stars, incredible and Godly people, in the middle of Africa).
I have hope as I look back at 2017. This year, let alone my entire life, I have seen how many mountains the Lord has moved and am confident He will move more. I have seen how He has never failed me and know He never will.
I am excited to delve into a deeper relationship with God, learn more, and see what He wants to reveal to me this year.
This year, I want freedom in God. I want freedom from everything that I am letting hold me down- fear, pride, laziness, etc. I want to be emerged in a year of truth and love and FREEDOM. I know that freedom comes through discipline and am ready to step into that discipline.
2018, the new year, comes with questioning how we’re going to live this year, how we are going to approach it, how we will step into every day, what we will choose to do, how we will choose to be…
live this year with God. Approach every circumstance, the good and the hard, with God. Step into everyday knowing you are not alone, depending on Him, and drawing your strength from God. Be a witness, be a role model, be an advocate, be kind, be a good neighbor, be a good husband/wife/child- be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Happy New Year<3
