Obviously, I haven't been keeping up with this. We haven't had internet here at the house due to some complications(thanks ATT for not allowing us to have DSL:) so it has been kind of hard to keep up with the "internet world". I CANNOT believe another year has come and gone. As I sit, I start to reflect on all the things we did this year: celebrated our anniversary with a trip to the mountains, took many weekend trips for soccer purposes, spent a week on the beach in Destin, went white water rafting with our church group, went to several MSU football games, saw MSU play UNC in men's basketball, went to Kentucky for a wedding, not to mention all the "small, intimate" times we had with each other and family and friends, and all the times that I just can't recall at the moment. Also, our "family" grew from two to four with the addition of our cute dogs, Drake and Kane.
BLESSED.... that's is all I can say, but even that doesn't do it justice. Thank you Jesus for such an amazing life and giving us "life more abundantly". We don't do deserve anything we have, but He is so good and gracious that He chooses to "pour" it out over us. We have also had loved ones pass on to ever remind us that this life is only temporary, we are not here forever or even promised tomorrow. With that said, 2011 is going to being a year that brings change to us, for the good. I am not ready to reveal anything just yet, I am just asking God to bless us as we go forward with our lives.
The one thing I can't shake as I reflect over the last year is, "how did I grow and glorify my Father? Did I really make a difference? Did I make him proud?". I feel as though I could have accomplished more, perhaps. There were plenty of times I didn't give Him enough of my time or didn't make time for Him at all. I ashamed I am. He deserves so much more, but at times, I gave Him nothing! So I make my "New Year's Resolution": make my Father proud of me, do His will, not forsake Him for myself or others.
Happy New Year!!
