I have decided 2009 is going to be the best year of my life. I will turn 48 in March, just a few short months. That is getting really close to the big 5-0, and as fast as life passes, it will be here before I know. But, like the saying goes, do not regret growing older, it is a privilege denied to many.
This year I plan to slow down, enjoy things more. If you read God's Word, He has a lot to say about "today". Choose you "this day" whom you will serve, "today" is the day of salvation, don't worry about tomorrow, etc. We are so busy getting thru "today" we don't take time to enjoy it. So one of my resolutions is to be a better steward of the time God has given me. I don't want to waste my time. I want to "choose" to serve God each day, whether be in taking care of myself, being more kind, being a better wife, mom, grandmother, friend, employee, etc. Yes, something as simple as eating, when you sit down to eat a meal, you have a choice to make. When you snack throughout the day, you are "choosing" to put on the weight! Think about that. That is why God says "choose." In Deut 30:19, God says I have set before thee life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life. So for 2009 I want to "choose" to be better, do better, act better, and not take anything for granted.
I am very thankful for the new friends I made in 2008, I pray they are life long. I look back and think that 2008 sure flew by, another reason I want to slow down.
May God Bless all of my friends, whether personal or online, and my family this upcoming year.
