A new decade has begun. Kind of crazy to think about, huh? 2009 was a great year for our family, with the exception of a few hardships and obstacles. I'm curious to see what will happen in 2010. I know God has big plans for us, as He always does. I follow one blogger that I really love. I was looking at her blog tonight and saw that she has chosen a word for the year. As I read through her blog, and a few others, I decided to give it a try myself and pick a word for this year.
TRUST
For 2010 my word is going to be TRUST. It's not trust in the people around me. That's not what I have trouble with. The trouble I have is putting my entire TRUST in the One that matters most. In the One that holds my life and the lives of the people I love in the palm of His hand. There are some certain areas that I want to learn to TRUST more.
One: our finances. Joey and I have set some pretty major financial goals for our family this year. However, to meet those goals, I am going to have to TRUST that God is going to provide.
Two: my children's safety and wellfare. I readily admit that I am a worrier by nature. I worry all the time about everything. However, the thing I worry about the most is my kids. I am so bad about worrying about them getting sick, or something else bad happening to them. I have to TRUST that God loves them even more than I do and that He holds them in the palm of His hand. I refuse to continue living my life in fear.
Three: me. This year, I want to take the time that I need to take to focus on myself. However, to do this, I have to TRUST that God is going to honor this and multiply my time so that I can still focus on my kids, husband, house, job and school. I believe that God wants me to take care of myself spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Scripture does say that our bodies are God's temple and I need to take better care of mine.
So, this is my new year's "resolutions" so to speak. This year, I am going to TRUST.
