Another Year has Passed, Welcome 2013

I know i haven't been writing in this as often as I had wanted to, when I first started... But even if I didn't, I will continue to write in here as much as possible. I started this journal in 2012 in hopes of finding out what God's plan is for me. And yet I still haven't found that calling. I am sure it will come one day. I trust in the Lord that He has a plan and it is all part of His timing in His kingdom. 2012 was a very good year when I look back on it. But as I was sitting in the car of the first couple of ours of 2013 I realized people make a huge deal on "new years resolutions". But what makes yesterday different from a new year of 2013? Technically, we just grow older everyday... Yesterday will be the same as today and tomorrow will be the same as today. So shouldn't we make everyday a "new resolution"? Every day is a new day where we are able to wake up looking forward to making this world a better place to live.  Even though we may have had a crappy day yesterday, the next day there is a new day where we can be refreshed. So why do we need a "new year resolution"? Why isn't there a new day resolution? Take things slowly; one day at a time. Focusing on the little moments that will help us see our future in something greater than ourselves.

After writing about this, this was one of the things that i learned from the past year. I had a few downs this year but through the downs it made it worth the ups in the end. In this point in time I believe I am able to say the windy roads and steep slopes that helped me reach to the top has stretched my faith and made me grow closer to God.

I just realized, 2012 was the year I got baptized... crazy. It is definitely one of those moments where my life had taken a huge turn in trusting in God and His plans. Although, I still can't tell where God is leading me, He's definitely lead me through small unexpected steps that have answered my prayers.

Anyways... It's late, 3:34am on 1/1/2013. Time for bed and a new morning with a new resolution to live out the day in God's full glory and praise. To continue to be reminded that all things are made and done through Him. I look forward to 2013 and what kinds of obstacles I will face.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.  - Romans 8:38
