New Year…..Choose

23 Jan

I really want to do better with my blog this year…. it is not a new year’s resolution, as I never keep those!  I have started working-out at the gym.  I have always said in my life that I hate gyms and will never go to one, well now I am the only one with a gym membership in the family!!!  The end of last year was great and a little hard. For one thing Sarah ended up in the ER with some health stuff but is doing well again. We were able to go to Wichita, KS for our annual Thanksgiving trip which was a lot of fun. December was a milestone birthday for me and I was so blessed to have my sister Ann and her husband Rob come and celebrate with us all in December. It was also Rob’s birthday and Christmas, this led to lots of parties, dinners and entertainment. Every year I pray about a word for the year that I believe the Lords wants me to focus on. This year my word is “Choose”. I know that it will be a season of choice for me and that I will have to choose which is what is for me. The scripture that the Lord placed on my heart was, “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,…” Joshua 24:15  I want to choose life instead of death, compliments instead of criticism, joy instead of sadness, love instead of hate, health instead of sickness and the list goes on.

Out with the old in with the new.

Do you make new years resolutions?

Not what, but who….

“It’s not what you know, but who you know!”  When Mary came to the tomb, she knew the tomb was empty. Then when Jesus showed up. He did not ask “what” she was looking for but “who” she was looking for. Then it mattered who she knew, not what she knew. It changed everything. Something that has been going on in my spirit is just that. We are all full of gifting, talents and abilities, we all know that but until Holy Spirit descends upon us and invades those areas ~ it is not what you know but WHO you know that makes it all count ~ Jesus.
