Pretty in Pink!

WELCOME TO 2010!!!
The beginning of a new year is always time for reflection and resolutions. I, myself, stopped making resolutions a long time ago because failure comes easy enough without setting yourself up. This year the reality of another decade passing has brought with it dreams of doing all those things you wish you had done...you know, living life with never having to say 'what if'. And actually I think these feelings come more frequently with age anyway, LOL! Even before the end of the year I found myself wanting to do things I had always wanted to do but never took the time to do...like learn how to play the guitar...isn't the internet a wonderful thing? And my Christmas present this year turned out to be a beautiful acoustic guitar (and it's even pink)! I must say, however, there is a reason we learn new things when we are younger...the mind just isn't as spongy as it used to be or maybe the holes in the sponge are just bigger and everything just falls out?! But the good news is my fingers are not quite as sore-finally!

I want to do more this year...not just more for the sake of more (Lord knows we all have more than enough on our plates already) but more for HIS sake. More to give Him glory, more that will, yes, be new and exciting for me but will ultimately cause the light to shine on Him. I want to share all that He has done in me and for me, all that He is doing now and all that He has promised to do - in words, pictures, worship and praise. After all, everything we are, everything we do, everything we are made to be is because of Him.
