A New Year

Well, 2014 has arrived! The year that I was supposed to be graduating from college but like so many times, God often changes our plans.  As many of my close friends are applying for graduate schools, applying for jobs and are really stressed out about the reality of life that will come to them in 4 short months, I am simply living every day one day at a time and cherishing every moment and opportunity that is given to me. I am treating this like my senior year because it technically is.  Other than that, I was trying to think of things that I want to do this year. I think that New Year's resolutions are lame so I am just thinking of  ways that I want to grow this year.
 1. The first is through my prayer life.  I want to be intentional about praying for people each and every day and growing in my prayer life.  Prayer is the number one way that we communicate with God and so as I am also trying to grow closer to Him this year, my prayer life has got to become better.  So I am trying to make a prayer list and ask my friends what they need prayer for.
2. I am trying to be intentional about relationships in my life. So often, in the hustle and bustle of life, it is so hard to keep in touch with people. I  have been blessed with many great friends in my life so I want to to be deliberate about spending as much time with people as possible.
3. Lastly,  I would like to returrn to my first love. I know I say this every year, but  I am really trying to grow more in love with my faithful, compassionate and loving Savior.
I am excited for the year and the many ways that I will fall short of the glory of God  but than be able to receive His grace and  live every hour of every day glorifying God and enjoying him!
 
I am also trying to blog more as well:) Let's see how that works out....
