Another beginning...

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow..
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
 
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
 
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
 
In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow
Where you go, I'LL GO
Where you stay, I'LL STAY
When you move, I'LL MOVE
I will follow you
Who you love, I'LL LOVE
How you serve I'LL SERVE
If this life I lose, I will follow YOU
I will FOLLOW you 

New Year's is always an exciting time for me, I love beginnings.  I love projects and starting something new. I love that anything is possible, and it is all up to us. A clean slate, a fresh new day or year, a time to look back and be motivated to do even more. 

I don't have any new "resolutions" this year, b/c resolutions can be broken...more like a promise to have a new normal.  A promise to give more of myself.  To stop worrying about others perception of our life and their opinions and live life fully and exactly the way the Lord has prepared us.  To follow when the Lord prompts without hesitation and listen when He is calling. I want to take a step closer everyday to being the wife, mother and Christian He has called me to be.

I know the Lord is working in our lives and I can't wait to see what He has in store in 2012.  Please be in prayer for our family as we start new adventures (Hubby starts school 1/9/12) , begin to teach our children what it really means to serve (new opportunities, including our new monthly prayer focus day), and look for the Lord's prompting in 2012. We appreciate your love and support. I know that we are blessed beyond measure. God is good, all the time!

Sweet big sister! I am always praying for you guys ... And even though we hardly ever see each other, it's one of the most precious things in life to watch God work in all four of you, individually and together. :)

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the picture of y'all's feet hanging over the wall ... Adorable!

And, of course, I love YOU! Happy New Year!!

LOVE YOU! (Also love the feet picture!) Oh, and the new blog layout! (Very festive for the new year!)

Also discussed your prayer/mission day thing with my family and I think we will be doing a version of it also. Thank you for sharing!
