Happy New Years!

Every new year we all start off with a clean slate. Most of us decided that this year we are going to change, but how many of us really do change for the better? I know that I don't always change how I thought I would change, but I do change. God is always working in me. As I look back over 2010, I can see God's hands all over my life. He is shaping me for the better. I never thought that I would change this much over the last year. God is good and he can do anything! I went through a lot of struggles that I didn't really know existed until this year. I learned that I have a eating problem, I have a hard time saying no, I love being an example for high school students, I found my true passion is french and teaching high school, I have a hard time doing the right thing all the time, and I LOVE GOD!!!!!!!
Now that it is 2011 I feel rejuvenated to do my rational resolutions I set for myself this year. I will read God's Word every single day, make a schedule for myself and stick to it, make sleep a priority for me, exercise at least 15 minutes per day, eat out minimally and stick to my budget, and to not lie no matter how much it may hurt. I feel this is a very reasonable resolutions for me this year. I am also taking this next year to be only focused on God and put my future in his hands, especially about my husband.
This year I will be spending the first 6 months in Boise, Idaho. I will be attending Boise State University getting closer to my french second education degree. I will also be involved with my church, The Pursuit, and its youth group called reNEWal. It is called reNEWal because you are made new on the inside and live your life as real as you can get. At the end of the 6 months I will be partaking in a mission trip with a group called Commission. It will be in Mountain Home, Idaho helping the community out. After that camp is over I will be heading to Perth, Australia. For the last 6 months of 2011 and the 6 months into 2012 I will be with an organization called Youth With A Mission, YWAM, learning how to deliver babies in third world countries. I know during that time God will totally rock my world and just make me in awe of him.
So, if anyone is following me I will post how I am doing. This will be my own personal journal of how God changes me to be the woman he has created me to be.

Happy New Years! May God bless you throughout the year with joy, love, and happiness.
