I want this to be a year that I look back on and smile on.
Not because everything went perfect- because it won't. Or because everything went the way I thought it would- because then again, it won't.
No..I want this year to be different. I want to be challenged. Changed.
And, I don't want what I just wrote to be a feeling that lingers until the first month is over, but one that stays. That is my heart's desire throughout the whole year. One that stays throughout the moment's when I am content and happy, and in the one's that it would be easier to forget the word challenge.
----
And, with that, let me say that I am looking forward to the new year forming. With it's moments that hold only what God knows.
"No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven."
~Philippians 3:13-14

May the new year be a year to remember. And may it be good. Very good.
