Happy New Year!, Project 365 and My Word

Happy New Year Folks!
First day of the week, new year, time to move on.......

I thank the Good Lord for allowing my family and I to make it another year in His Goodness.

All I can say is that God is soooo good!!

I am looking forward to a remarkable 2012!

Project 365

I am happy to say that I will again be doing Project 365. I am so excited about this.

If you know me, you know that I love memory keeping and this is the perfect way to record those precious memories and pictures. I love it so much that I even bought my chicks one for Christmas. I hope they are as excited as I am. Just think.....one day in the future we can look at them and recall all the fond memories that we have documented.

My Word!

A fairly new tradition for me is to choose a word for the year. My word for 2012 is:

GROW

I feel that I have room to grow in every area of my life:

spiritually

in my marriage

as a mom

as a grandmother

in the workplace

as a friend

as a volunteer

as a student

and the list goes on and on.......

Bible verse for the year

I have never chosen a verse for the year, but this year I will.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Last year I fretted, stressed and worried over what I should do with my life.

Should I go back to school?

Should I find a different job?

Why did I get out of the Navy?

worry, fret, and stress certainly took a lot out of me!

I feel that God kept trying to remind me over and over by putting this verse in front of me. It seemed that everywhere that I went, everything that I read, even in church Pastor spoke on this. My friends and family reminded me about this verse also. It kept coming to me over and over.

Boy, I am certainly like a child who needs to be reminded over and over.

This year I am claiming it!

I may not know, but He certainly does!

I am still going to take a class at the community college.

Remember my word is GROW!!

And GROW I must!!

May you all have a healthy, prosperous, victorious New Year

Blessings Continually!!
