Well this is my first time I've started blog, so here it goes...
Here are my thoughts/hopes or resolutions for 2010, although I don't really believe in new year resolutions.
While we were on holiday in Morgansbay I asked the Lord to show me what He wants me to focus on in 2010 and I believe this was part of His answer:
2010 must be a year of:
FRIENDSHIP: I want to spend more time on building those precious friendships in my life and I want to be a better friend.
LAUGHTER: I just want to laugh more and make other people laugh more
JOY: I want to really come back to a place where I find joy in the Lord and in my salvation and through that be an example and blessing to others, especially in my family. I want to create an environment where we as family can experience laughter and joy
MORE IS LESS: This is actually a theme that we as elders are exploring . I want to trust the Holy Spirit to guide me to do less better and to focus only on that which God wants me to focus on. I want to be more effective in the Kingdom of God
SPACIOUSNESS: I want to create a haven for my husband and my family, a spaciousness from where we can operate and be effective in the Kingdom of God.
You see as a young family serving in the Kingdom of God, a lot of what we do is very rushed, especially with 2 todlers who do not understand the term: “Ons is haastig of maak gou”
I want to be more organised and more relaxed and bring an 'unrushness' to our household. For instance I want to pack bags, lay the table, put kids' clothes ready for a Sunday morning on a Saturday evening and start the Sunday morning with a worship CD playing in the background, etc..... In any case, I want to try..
As I said I don't really believe in new year resolutions, mainly because I don't think many of us are very successful in keeping them BUT I want to trust in my Lord to guide me in all these areas and by HIS SPIRIT only will I achieve any of these, because as Helet, I know I will fail.
