It happens every year. Christmas rolls around and the next day I start thinking about my New Year's resolution. Most of the time, my resolution will have something to do with pounds...and I'm not speaking about the European currency! This year, however, things are different!
For starters, this year I really haven't had time to think about a New Year's resolution. Also, this year, I really am not concerned about my weight. Not that I wouldn't like to shed a few pounds, but this year its just not that high on my priority list!
This year, I want to major on the majors! I want to not sweat the small stuff. I want to learn to trust God in all things. 2010 was a year of simply faith at our church...and simply, faith was all we needed! This past year was perhaps one of the hardest years I've experienced. One trial after another attempted to derail my faith...yet God was faithful. He brought us through.
I suppose want I do to accomplish this year is learning to trust Him to the extent that His faithfulness doesn't surprise me. That I learn to expect it. Not taking it for granted, but understanding that God's nature is faithful. I want to learn to trust Him fully.
He has never failed me. His timing may not line up with my timeline...but then whose fault is that?
Lord, help me to trust you more fully in 2011. Thank you for all your blessings in the past year. I look forward in great anticipation to what you will do in my future.
