Last year probably was one of the hardest years I have ever had. I struggled greatly for most of the year in my belief in God as well as humanity. In October I finally gave in to whatever it is that Christ is doing to me. I still find myself fighting it sometimes because it hurts to change. I see that I have to let Christ control me or I am quite useless to Him. The one thing I really learned in the last few months is that God does love me. No matter what happens in this world, I am going to be alright.

I also finally decided to put away old relationships. I won’t let them hurt my husband, children or myself any longer. My family is better off without people who don’t really love us.

That said, I resolve to put more effort into relationships that nourish me and let go of relationships that tear me down. I resolve to focus on Christ and what he expects from me. After 2009 being the year of Job for me and realizing that God does indeed love me, I figure that 2010 is going to be a amazing year.

I hope that 2010 is a beautiful year for you as well Mrs. Spurling.

What a nice post! I am planning to lose weight but something even more important to me is a decision with the Lords help, to do things ON PURPOSE. I am increasingly convicted of just sailing by on my “lazy river” and I feel like I’m just getting by. I’m not living INTENTIONALLY to do as much as God wants me to do, even in encouraging someone else.
So, that’s my goal. To live ON PURPOSE the things that Jesus would have me do and to be….with HIS help, of course, because without Him we are ALL nothing, right?

Comment on hey, so, it’s me… by Ouida Gabriel

I have missed you so much since you stopped posting. I do understand why you would take a break. I can rarely keep up with personal correspondence these days and honestly, I have stopped worrying about it. I used to stress about how others see me but right now I realize that if I believe that God is happy with me then everyone else can be too.

Take a break, drink some Latte’s, and stay in the Word. I truly believe God is doing some amazing things to His children. I struggled hard this year with my ups and downs but this past few weeks I have been digging into the Word and rebuking the horrible thoughts I was having. God is helping me. I will pray He helps you too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
