About Me

I love God and I love life. I enjoy loud spontaneous moments, but I also enjoy silence. It is in that silence that The Father's voice can clearly be heard.

Out with a bang! Well, Not exactly.

The End of the Year 2009 came and went with little to no fanfare at our home this year. We did not have friends over to celebrate, we had no fire works, no plans and made no resolutions.

We all just kind of hung out at home doing our own thing. I was reading. The guys were playing ps3, John & Autie were watching an "America's Funniest Videos" marathon. (side note...... why is that when someone's unfortunate mishap is caught on film, one in which they were obviously hurt, why is THAT FUNNY? Im sorry, maybe Im a minority, but I dont think human suffering in any way, shape or form is funny! vent over.)

Reflecting on 2009. It was a rather tough year both emotionally and financially. By mid December I was feeling a little bruised in Spirit, had let myself get run down and was fighting the chest cold crud that everyone else had. I found myself hibernating the last few days of the year. I used the time to pray more.

Like I mentioned earlier, I didnt make any resolutions for 2010. I saw no point. The definition of a New Year's resolution should read..... "An unrealistic promise made to one's self. Holding no credibility or consequence, as we have no one to hold us accountable if we fail".

Instead..... Im making a commitment to God. I will love more. I will give more. I will be more forgiving. I will judge less. I will want for less. I will pray more.
There is no way to fail. He is my strength. He will finish the good work He has started in me. :)
