Today is the last day of 2011.
Thinking back to the last 364 days, I am grateful for them.
For every low & every high.
Every tear & every laugh.
Why? Because of the mistakes I learned from & for the chances that I took.
I wouldn't change anything about it because the Lord has been with me all along & constantly teaching me, telling me to keep going, loving me, growing me & building me up. It's interesting because I wouldn't change even the "bad" moments in my life because through them the Lord has always come through and made His power more tangible.
What's to come in 2012 I have not a clue. Well, I have some idea of events to come but I would rather just place all my plans in the Lord's hands and allow Him to orchestrate.
I know a lot of opportunities will arise. We can look at the practical (i.e. jobs, making living-arragement choices) or at the spiritual (i.e. preaching the Gospel, love instead of get angry) and I want to seize those opportunities! I want to do what the Lord wants me to do.
He's given me life & I want to make each year count.
When I really think about it I want it to count for the Kingdom, for the eternal. Even my time on this earth is momentary, so I only have a "moment" to make a difference. I'll take it!
How exciting that we get to play a part in the King's song of salvation!
It's an honor.
So here's to seizing each day of 2012.
