Many things filled last year and it went by way to fast. I have decided it is time for a change. I am going to try to say "No"more often, except to God. It may seem some times we are going through unnecessary struggles but they only prove to make us stronger not only in ourselves but in our relationship with God. Instead of running and filling our time with schedules, people and stuff, we need to stop and just say "Yes"to God.
Although things got painful and stressful last year I knew to run to my precious Saviour who, even in times of troubles and struggle and cries to Him for help, knowledge or strength, was ALWAYS be there!
Last year for me was filled with everyone and everything else except for God until I started to need Him, but this year I want more of Him and less of me (and other stuff and people). The trials I have been through I know have not been in vain, I will always remember that God's not through with me yet!
So, as I look to Him to see what His next step is for my life I think the words of the song "Walk through the Valley" by Nichole Nordeman, sum up how I feel. (Thank you to Alicia for sending me this lovely song to listen to, I am soo grateful for it!)
The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
and I don't know the reason why You brought me here.
But just because You love me the way that You do,
I'm gonna walk through the valley if You want me to.
Cause I'm not who I was when I took my first step,
and I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet.
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You,
Then I will go through the fire if You want me to.
It may not be the way I would have chosen,
When You lead me through a world that's not my home.
But You never said it would be easy,
You only said I'd never go alone.
So when the whole world turns against me and I'm all by myself,
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help,
I'll remember the suffering Your love put you through,
And I will go through the valley if You want me to.

I was just thinking about how much time I didnt spend with God last year... Ha, He uses all means to connect with us, I was thinking its about time I seek Him as much or more than He seeks me!
