Well, it's a new year kids! Full of promise and hope. This time of year makes a person contemplate the year that has just past. What did I accomplish? Where did I go wrong? What did I see or do? What could have I done better? A person can see how quickly time goes.
Well, 2010 was a great year for me. I drew closer to God and He revealed himself to me in ways I never experienced before. I resolved to be more bold in my faith and God did not fail me, He blessed me more than I can say. He brought me together with beautiful Christian ladies for my home bible study who have blessed me so much in my walk with Jesus. My fellow spiritual warriors. He took me to Africa and allowed me to feel the unseen forces at work..both the hope and the despair. Thank you Father. He is ever-patient, ever-loving, ever-present. He took me through a season of silence to teach me to trust Him, even when I can't feel Him. He refined me, polished me. Praise you Father. He has answered prayers, even ones I forgot I had asked. He has given me understanding when some prayers weren't answered how I thought they should be answered.
There is no ceiling to where God can take you. There is no cap, no boundary, no line. He is the Maker of all, He has no limits. We just have to humble ourselves and ask, and He will give generously. "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).
Instead of New Year's resolutions, I'm going to pray for God revelations. I pray that I become a woman who does not conform to the world, but instead that I can be a spokeswoman for God. I pray that I become more God-centered, not self-centered. I pray, deeply and truly, that His will, overcome my will. That if I have a choice, however insignificant it may feel, that I make a choice depending on what God would have me do, not what would best interest me. Thank you Father. No, better yet... I pray that your will becomes my will. That I would not even have to think about what to do in a situation, that I would feel your will as my will. Lord, I want my life to glorify you. I want to please you, not the world. Make it so Lord!
I really believe that this year is going to be a life-changer. It's time to waken up, it's time to grow up in our faith. It's time to start delving into His Word..the meat and the potatoes. Lets count. Let us be the warriors He wants us to be. Lets really do some damage to the enemy. Lets not be silent anymore, this is not the time. It's time to put on the armour of God and roar! I believe God is about to give the battle cry, we need to be ready for that day.
I pray that God blesses each one of you. I pray that wherever you are in your walk with Jesus, that He takes you deeper and closer to Him. I pray that He gives you peace in any situation, that He gives you strength to conquer any doubts, that He speaks to you in a way that you understand, and I pray that you step out of your box, your comfort zone. Whether that be to start your own bible study, raising your hands when you're worshipping, praying out loud in front of people, bowing your head and praying in a restaurant...whatever it may be..just do it. It's all about Him, not anyone else. You can do it! What a great God we serve! Thank you Father for it all! Praise you father!
P.S. I want you all to know that the relative I spoke of in my last blog who was sick with cancer has passed away, and thank the Lord, she had accepted Jesus as her saviour before she died. Praise you Father!
