1. I find that I love much of what I have written , there is no poster's remorse.
2. I am deeply encouraged by other's responses. So if you've ever read something I've written and commented - I thank you. I don't respond very well to my responders but I appreciate it more than you realize.
3. I am saddened at how little I wrote throughout the year. I simply didn't make it a priority. I find this to be annoying.
4. My prayer remains the same that God would continue to inspire me to write and hopefully to bless others.
But enough about my writing. There are more important things to discuss like the new year we are about to embark upon. Many people enjoy partying it up at the end of the year. If you are one of those folks, I hope you have a great time! But I also hope you spend some time reflecting upon this last year. We will never fully grow and change without thoughtful and prayerful reflection of where we've been. We cannot stay in the past for we must always journey on; but pushing forward without reflection will result in stunted growth.
Here are a few questions to ponder:
Where have you been this past year? Where were you successes and joys found? Where were your failures and pain? Don't think about what you would have changed, instead ponder what you CAN change for this coming year. Reflect upon your relationship with God. Have you drawn close to Him or have you chosen to not engage Him? Where has this left you? In 3 words or less, how would you characterize your last year? Where do you want to be on December 31st, 2011 - form plans based on this thought instead of glorious intentions that may fail within the first few weeks. What three words would you like to characterize 2011? Invite God into your reflection time, I believe he has things he would love to reveal to you.
Happy end of 2010 friends! May the adventure of 2011 begin!
