Ok...so I'm slacking already on my blogging for the year. Do you ever come to your blog or journal and feel like you have writer's block? I'm speechless most of the time. I've been trying to really grasp that 2009 is here and that I've left 2008 behind. I don't really have resolutions. BUT...I do have several goals for the year...some that I have to admit I've already failed at.
I long to dwell in the presence of Jesus. Not just pop in and out. I hate that dry feeling...like He's so far away. It makes me sad to look back over 2008 at the things I've truly missed out on. I could very easily have the "post-Christmas blues". Does anyone else get those? Is it just me?
Oh well...I long to be a different person in so many ways at this time next year. I've sat and wondered what the Lord may have in store for me and for my family this year. Will I lose someone I love? Will Don still have the same job? Will we be expecting another child? Will I be homeschooling Emma or will she be in public school? Will my relationship with my Lord and Savior be so intimate that I may know Him like He already knows me? Those are just a few. I know my will where most of those are concerned.....but HIS???...I'm not so sure.
I do know that there are mountains to be faced, moved and climbed in the year to come....I also know that I'm the daughter of The King, the One who knows all. I know that He is who He says He is. I know that He can do what He says He can do. I know I am who He says I am. I know I can do all things through Him. I know that His Word is alive and active in me. I pray that no matter what may come our way...I'll trust Him.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
