A New Year...

I cannot believe that 2007 is already here. I remember thinking that the 2000's were so far away. I also remember a bulletin board made by my English teacher. It read, "Where will you be and what will you be doing 20 years from now?" At the time, I couldn't even imagine where I would be or what I would be doing.
I am pretty much where I left off...still living at home and working (a different kind of work than everyday work from school, but still at school). But one thing has definitely changed since that first look at the bulletin board. I am thankful that I know the Lord so much better than I did then. His Word has taught me so much as with the different experiences. Just this morning when I was reading Proverbs...the words are so much more meaningful...because I finally have grasped the true importance of them and what they stand for.
Another thing I have learned this year is from my trip to Europe this year. The people from the countries I have visited have taught me so much about contentment and waaiting on the Lord without worry. Despite the different trials, they sought out strength from the Lord and it was evident in every moment of their lives.
I hope that this year, I can live my life worthy of the One who created me.
For in Him, we live and move and have our being!

God bless you in this New Year. Funny you mentioned the bulletin board. I remember in the 1950's reading "1984" and wondering if I would be alive then!

Again, may your new year be blessed.

When I was in jr.high I got a school jacket with my graduation year of 1980 on it. I wore it proudly to a football game. I overheard a man say, "Look at all these kids with 1980 on their jacket. I'll be 30 years old!" I often where he is and how old he is now.

Happy New Year!

We were all thinking the same things this week! I am praising and thanking our great God for what He is doing in your life! (I love your new look!)

Happy New Year to you and yours. May God bless you greatly in 2007. A bit of a late compliment but I love all the baking and gingerbread houses that you made :)
