Happy New Year 2012! Grow! Grow! Grow!

John 14:26 " But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."

I am sitting at the kitchen table thinking and pondering all that my future holds for 2012.  God's blessings are amazing!  I can't possibly imagine god's blessings being any bigger or better.  In 2011 God taught me and is still teaching me to have a grateful heart, even in the midst of uncertainty and adversity.  I used to be a person who's cup was half empty, and now I am a person who's cup is half full.  God has taught me to see His blessings everywhere and in all things.  What is my resolution for 2012?  I want to move into deeper oneness with Him.  I want God to teach my heart not only to see things as empty or half full, but overflowing.  As I walk this path of life, with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I have realized He is the answer to my hearts desires.  I can only have a life overflowing with God's goodness, when I yield to the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirits' strength and wisdom are limitless.   I'm not saying that life won't throw me any curve balls, or that 2012 will be completely happy.  Life never comes without it's share of difficulty.  2011 was filled with many happy, joyous, and fulfilling moments.  Pain, loneliness, and stress were also present.  However, this past year has proven to be wonderful, as God has taught me the answer to all struggles.  The answer is prayer.  Pray without ceasing!  Seek wisdom!  Study the Bible!  Grow!  Grow!  Grow!

My New Year's resolution for 2012 --  To grow in deeper oneness with the Father.  To become a person who not only see's the glass as half full, but overflowing!  No matter how tough the circumstance - I will look to all lengths to see blessings abound!  Here's a toast to 2012!  Grow!  Grow!  Grow!
