Happy New Year


Hi all! I am back...briefly.
Hope you are safe and dry and 2011 has started well for you my friends.
It has been a somewhat challenging beginning to the year for me, but my challenges pail into insignificance when I consider the poor people to my north and south who have lost so much in the floods.


As I do think about 2011 and those words "Happy New...." I think about what makes life 'happy' and what 'new' things I would like to see and do and be in 2011.
Happiness is not a goal of mine, although joy is. To be grateful and content, no matter the circumstance is to be joyful. I want to live my life like that this year.
And in order for that to happen, some 'new' work needs to be done in my life by the only one I trust to do the job well....God. So I am offering myself up to Him again (which I will need to continue to do moment by moment) and asking Him to continue to do His good work in me and through me.
And for those of you praying a similar prayer for 2011, may God answer you in fresh and wonderful ways.


PS. I have added a new page to the blog...'About Me'. I just want to reassure anyone who visits this blog or reads the posts, that they are written by a regular girl who is walking with an incredible God. And it's only by His enabling that I am able to put words to the page or be anything like His Son. And btw, I have just yelled at the computer in frustration and snapped at my husband:( Classy girl that I am:(
