two thousand and nine. a new year. a new beginning.

2008 was a year of preparation, preparation for my future serving God. Now I am living what God was preparing me for and that is a bit scary. I believe that 2009 will be a time whee i take all the things I learned in 2008 and the years before and put them into action in my life. It is time to learn, grow and for God to take me in his hands and mold me into the woman of God that he wants me to be. I want this year to be a year of change and growth. I want to mature in my relationship with God. I want to stop saying I am going to do things and not doing them. I want to do what I say and really devote my life to God. I want to give my time to him, give up all control to him. But I think the biggest thing that i need to do (which I am going to do) is dive into God's word, read it, study it, meditate on it, and know it in my heart and mind. This year will be about change and growth in me but really it is all about God and his will for me. I want to focus all of my attention on God.

God, here I am.

Yours to have, to do with what you wish.

God, take me, change me, mold me, make me more and more like you and less and less like me.

Lord I devote this year, this month, this week, this day, this minute, and this second to you.

I am yours, my heart is yours, my life is yours Lord.

Let your will be done in me God.

Let me fulfill the purpose you have made for me.

I am yours Lord.

Amen.
