resolution

so... my big new years plans were kinda changed by the BLIZZARD that was happening for the last 2 days, so my new years eve was spent playing bananagrams (which is actually what i was doing last year too!) with some friends. it was very relaxed and cozy and simple... and it was great. today was a lazy day, spent drinking mimosas all day long with a few other friends. i've never really been a big new years celebration person... and i also don't really do resolutions.

so, instead of making a bunch of promises that i know i won't be able to keep, my prayer for this year is this:
that God would take this year and do with it what He will... that i will be joyful and content in every day, not constantly waiting for the future... that i will have the confidence and the courage to sieze opportunities, whether they be experiences, conversations, or anything that comes up... that i will seek wisdom and grow in my faith and learn more and more exactly what i believe and why i believe it, and to be able to defend it with confidence... that God will continue to reveal Himself to me in ways that i can't even imagine, and that i will recognize it when it happens... that i will live my life with gladness in a way that brings glory to God in everything that i do... that people will see Him in me.

basically i'm putting this year in God's hands, because i know He's in control.

i praise God for a new year, for new opportunities, for where i am, and for all of the people i love. i pray that your year will be blessed and that you will constantly be amazed by God's goodness.
i love you all...
