I was reading today’s broadcast from Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Demoss. I would strongly recommend subscribing to that feed and reading it everyday, girls!! It is so sound and true. And to tell you the truth there are few things out there today that are really going to encourage you and be good for you. I find that when I go there and read her broadcast it is exactly what I needed to hear.

I have resloutions! And “there ain’t nothing that can’t be done by me and God” or just God, through me. ;) I was thinking today about my # 1 priority. My walk with Jesus. These were the thoughts that ran through my mind. “But it’s so hard! Sometimes it just takes so much work it seems to keep my relationship with the Lord hot, vital, going, alive!” You know what I mean? Sometimes it just seems easier to simply…. be lazy. Slack off… not read the Word and dig hard for His truths. Seek him out. Trust Him wholly. Sometimes it just seems easier to complain. To rely on my strength. Seems… but that’s not right or true.

I thought about what people who are married always say, “It takes work!” “You have to work on your relationship” That is true in this as well! We have to work on our relationship with our Lord. We have to put time and effort into the ones that we love and care for. If we care about our relationship with the Lord we must take the time to work on it. We must be diligent to pray and seek His face. It says that if we seek Him we will find Him!

I have a few resolutions:

1. Work on my Ultimate Relationship – make it number one!
2. Read more Missionary biographies. Less of other non-important things.
3. Visit the widows/ shut in’s in our church with the sisters.
4. Get involved in the crises pregnancy center at my church. (Excited about this.)
5. Read Johnny Cash’s biography. (Starting this today) Love that guy.
6. Update my blog post’s daily! (BIG HUGE CHALLENGE FOR ME!)
More I am sure, just can’t think of ones right now or not willing to share here ;)

God has been good to me this year. I thank Him for leading me and guiding me and telling me to trust Him, over and over and over again! I am excited about this New Year because I know who holds my future! It’s me and God. “He’s my Saviour, He’s my Friend … .” Whatever it is, it will be good.

WELCOME 2009

Hi! Funny you should mention subscribing to Nancy LeighDemoss site, cuz I just did it a few days ago. I was searching for some encouraging site to give me something to keep going. I am glad I found her site after a friend told me about Nancy’s daily blog.
