Hello Everyone!

Can you believe it's already Dec. 26th? It is officially starting the very end of the year 2009 and officially marking the one month mark till my birthday!! (can you tell I'm excited?)



I haven't written in so long.....

My thoughts have wondered round and round my head pondering all the past of this one year. Things that have happened, things I said, things I shouldn't have said. Things that have changed me as a person, and pushed me to grow. The things that made me cry, and the things that made me laugh. The things that made me question myself as a person, a daughter, a mother, and a friend. And the things that made me feel as though I was on top of the world....completely blessed!



It's amazing to me how fast and how slow this year has been. It has been on of the worst years of my life....yet one of the most amazing and most blessed! Doesn't make sense huh?! At times this year, it had seemed as though I had hit the bottom; completely lost and confused about where God was taking me...if He was taking me at all...and then out of no where, He completely swept me under his wing, dusted me off, and kept nudging me to the place that keeps getting better and better.



In 2nd Corinthians 4:16 is says, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temperary, but was is unseen is eternal."

Our troubles for this past year are done and over with. It's not our battle to fight, because He has already won it for us. Giving things over has to be one of the hardest things to learn, but once we learn that...it makes our lives so much easier.

I pray that each of you has a year that is blessed beyond measure! I pray that you find love wherever you go and in everything you do. I pray for wisdom with understanding so you be able to make decisions for your life that are God driven and will lead you down paths that bless not only you, but everyone around you!!

I love you all!!

Nikki
