Happy Twenty Fifteen

Happy New Year!  Are you into goal setting?  I am.  I like dreaming of what's to come, planning to make it happen, and actually working to see the dream come to pass.  No, every new year resolution is not always accomplished, but some are.  Those successes are what keep me planning and scheming.  In prayer and meditation, I have felt as though the Spirit has been birthing this verse in me for this year...Matthew 16:25- "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."  Honestly, in my walk with Christ I have found my greatest struggle to be with SELF.  I wrestle with trying to make myself happy versus pleasing God.  This year I want to be intentional in overcoming my flesh and living a life spent completely for Christ.  In every area of my life...as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher, friend, leader, etc.  I am planning on finding true life from living for the glory of God solely.  Yes, I have other goals which I will not go into, but with this as my base I am hoping to see much fruit.  Here's to hoping 2015 is the best yet.
