What's to Come ...

First off, Happy New Year!!!!

Now that's off my chest, so far it's been a good few days into 2010. I don't know where God is leading me but this I know, I eagerly wait for the LORD. It's been three years in Washington, DC and how time flies. There's a lot I am thankful for but there's a lot of questions of my future. I feel restless some days with what I am doing in DC. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for what I have in my life so far but I get this sense that there's got to be more to what God wants to do through and in me. I feel like maybe I am selling myself short or maybe, I am suppose to just wait. Right, waiting. Did I mentioned that I am not good at being patience? Outwardly, I may seem patience but inwardly I am not patient. As I go into this new year, I want to work on being more patient and wait on Him. I desire to become more like Christ in everything I say, act and do. I want to love God like Jesus did. I want a heart that reflects my heavenly Father and bring Him glory. This seems impossible but with Christ, everything is possible. I want more Spirit of God to live in and through me. I want to listen more and talk less when I pray to Him. In the silence, He is there. I want to put Him first and get rid of the idols in my life. What are the idols of my life? What controls me? What do I serve? How can I remove the idols in my life and put Him first in my life?

There's a lot to pray and think about. I am excited about what's to come but also scared about it too. I should not be afraid. I am going to be bold and courageous in Christ who believes in me when everything may seem confusing and chaotic. Peace of Christ. May the peace that only Christ can give be with you today and know that He loves you more than you can imagine. Thanks for reading!
