Where did 2010 go? It sounds like a year that should be in my future and here it is has come and gone. There is always a reflection time at the end of the year for me, because, just like all of you, I want the next year to be the best yet. So what worked last year and what wasn't so good.
I guess I could type and type about all the year held but when it gets right down to it.....the most important things would be those that are eternal, that will last forever. So, how did I serve my Lord this year and how can I improve on that next year?
Serving the Lord comes in all sorts of ways. To Love God with my whole heart is the best gift I can give Him. I am so much better than I used to be, but there is so much more to give Him, my time, my alone time, my thought life, and being Jesus in all my words and actions. To be a christian, is to become more and more Christ like, a goal so worthy of my effort.
To Love my family is to show them God's love. I don't know if they get that or not, but that is really why I do what I do for them.....because I want them to see Jesus and to experience the blessings of serving Him.
To Love my co workers and the patients I have each day is to be Jesus to them, to be His hands and His feet. To offer words of encouragement and hope. That is why I do what I do at work, and I am pretty sure that most of them don't get that.
To study my Bible and be involved in an indepth study of the book of Esther has brought me closer to the Lord. It has helped me realize why God put the books of the Bible within our reach, it (the Bible) affects every area of my life. Not to mention the fellowship of being with Christian ladies and my church family!!!! They are the best and God gave them to me to uplift me and encourage me, and help me be accountable before them.
So as I look ahead to 2011 I resolve to know God more, to live my life as if this is the last year, to love more deeply, study harder, and practice the walking and talking and seeing the way Jesus does. To put my hand in God's and see where He leads! Happy new Year, Love, Kim
