Also, this year I'm doing something a little different. I've decided to journal every day of this year. It's like a journal of prayers to God. I start each one of them off with "Dear Dad,". When I call Him "Dad" it makes me feel closer to Him. That's a personal relationship. Also, I made a "memories jar". Everyday I'll write about a special memory or what I'm thankful for.
Studying the word of God is very important in this Christian walk. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right."
So, each month I will be studying a different book of the Bible. This month's book is Proverbs. Proverbs is all about wisdom & understanding!
The past two years I feel as if God has been preparing me for what He has this year. I've been changed, delivered & set free from different things. God has removed many people out of my life that I thought was here to stay. I realize all of it is for my good. I know that God is mighty & I know that when we trust Him, He will do some mighty things! I've never been the one to say "new year, new me", but I always pray that I become a better person than I was before. We shouldn't get comfortable with the way we are because there's ALWAYS room for improvement. We're not perfect, only God is.
With that being said, I wanna know what are you doing differently this year! If you have any resolutions or things that you're believing God for, let me know & I'll stand in agreement with you. I'll make sure that you are in my prayers. I love you all! Let's make 2013 the happiest year of our lives!!
