A new Year with a fresh start....

2007

I am hoping that since 7 is one of my lucky #'s that this will be a lucky year for me. There is much to hope for and look forward to this year.

I am making goals that i will check every month. i think i need to be more aware of my progress than i have been in the past. there is SO much i want to accomplish, but i am coming to realizethat i can not expect others to help me with these bc they are tied upin lilves of their own. Nor can i support others as much as i would like... not from where i am now. I would like to do so much more than i am capable of, but unfortunatly i have limits.

Anyway, I am completely syked about this year.... i think it is going to be amazing! i guess we'll just have to see. I need to learn to be more positive. I have found myself being very negative about my life the past few wks. This year one of my focuses is to be more positive, outgoing and service oriented. These are my quotes to live by for the year...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?Actually, Who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

"The challenge for Christians then is to live with great passion and conviction, remaining open and flexible, aware that this life is not the last painting...the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovationg, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more the people God wants us to be."
- Rob Bell

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you"
Romans 12:1-2
