A New Year

I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since I have posted something!! Shame on me! It's not because I haven't been learning things from God, because I have. I also can't believe that it's been a year (tomorrow) since my New Year's Resolution blog...but it has! Did I keep my resolution from last year? Yes and No. Let me explain. You might remember I said I usually don't make New Year's resolutions because of the failure rate of them, but I was going to change the kind of resolution I would make (except for reading my Bible through in a year, which I completed on Christmas day). Last year I made the resolution to become the woman God wanted me to be. I noted that I would fail, but that was alright as long as I started again...I did fail...many, many times; but unlike other times I would admit my failure and begin again (often the same day). So, did I fail? Sure; but did I succeed also? Definately! Am I a better woman today than I was a year ago? I think I am, although some people may disagree with me. Did I learn from God...yes, over and over again! So, am I going to continue my resolution this year? Yes I am!
I hope this time next year I can sit down and say that I am closer to becoming the woman God wants me to be than I am right now! I have learned to love God deeper this year and in the process have learned to love others and my life more. However, God is not finished with me yet! I just hope that I am always willing to learn.

My Bible reading this year is taking a different approach. I am going to read the New Testament through as many times as I can and study a different book of the Bible each month. I think I am going to start with studying the book of Daniel in January.
I am also going to try to write at least twice a month, so keep coming back to see what God is teaching me!
