Made it to the year 2013...never thought it would be here. I do not normally make "New Year's resolutions" but I do like to look on the past year to see what I learned and how I can be better for the future. God has done some amazing things in my heart that I never anticipated in 2012. In no particular order, here are a few things I learned:
He taught me how I can be independent yet dependent on Him. I am still learning the balance.
He taught me through life in two other countries, Zambia in Peru, how to appreciate people for who they are, see the best in them, and allow them to touch my life.
He taught me through my times of contentment how good He is, but reminded me in my times of despair how good He is as well.
John 16:32-33
Jeremiah 29:11-13
He asked me to forgive and then heal.
He asked me to be patient and earnest in prayer, finding myself as seek His face.
He provided opportunities for my gifts to be used for His glory.
When I look back on 2012 in this way, I cannot help but be thankful. The people that formed my year are a blessing that I will treasure, whether we see each other every day or once a year. I cannot begin to imagine what God has in store for me in 2013 :)
What did you learn in 2012? How will it drive or change your 2013?
