The New Year
My hopes for 2009:
That I would be more like Jesus.
That my willful self would starve, and my sacrificial self would grow more powerful.
That I would embrace joy and accept every good thing that comes my way.
That I would grow deep, deep roots.
That I would be flexible, open to every change, and fearless in the face of fear.
That my children would fall more deeply in love with Jesus.
That my husband would be blessed with every blessing in Christ.
That I would live in the present day only.
That in all things, God's name would be praised, even in suffering.

Have you seen these dolls... http://www.babybeblesseddolls.com. I think Grace and Kye need one:) They are priceless!!!
I've been praying for a word from the Lord -- literally, ONE word to focus on this year. I haven't gotten it yet, but my word just might be: seek. Seek Him. Seek to be LIKE Him. Seek His will. Sounds as if that is your thought, as well. I love to hear all of these -- which we lived close. I think you would be such a blessing to hold me accountable to seek!
