goodbye 2009, hello 2010!

WOW! 2009 is over! It was definitely a landmark year in my life. I graduated from high school... had a very interesting summer full of new experiences... started college... moved away from home... made amazing friends... and felt what it is really like to be alone (as in independence AND lonely). 2009 was a strange year... but I loved it!

Just because the year changed doesn't mean that I will change or that any memories from 2009 are gone, to me it just means that I get to build on what I have come from. I am not expecting radical changes in my life just because the last two digits of the year changed. God can definitely make that happen but then it is because of God, not the year. I am very excited to start 2010... just the fact that I have a whole year ahead of me is exciting! I know that I will experience new things and have a lot of fun.

I don't usually make new years resolutions... I choose a theme. But this year I did both.
2008 theme: Smile
2009 theme: Love
2010 theme: Heart. This includes so many different aspects of life. God, others, effort and focus are just a few.

Resolutions for 2010:
-Be in God's Word EVERY day!
-Let go, and let God.
-Form relationships/closer relationships with my siblings
-Learn German
-Be healthier... exercise and eat better
-Be a better friend
(there are more but I am not gonna put them all up here)

God has blessed me with a new year and I plan to use it for whatever He wants. This is not my year or my time, it is God's.

Have a wonderful 2010!
