Dear 2013,
I had a hard time with you. You looked nothing like I expected. But the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. And I know that in His Prescence is fullness of joy. Goodbye 2013. I hope I take the lessons I learned and apply them.
Dear 2014,
Selfishly, I want to wish for wonderful things! But I am learning that God's good for me is better than my own. What I want in this year is this: "And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground." 1 Samuel 3:19
If that could be said of me at the end of 2014, I would be overjoyed. There is so much in my life that I cannot control. There is so much that I really don't need to be content and joyful. What I need is the Lord to be with me.
