Looking back at journal entries from a year ago, I see that they are all about processing the hurt from the year before. God was faithful in 2012 to deliver healing, new perspectives, and new revelations. I'm thankful today that I'm not in the same place as I was this time last year.
I believe that 2013 is going to build on the growth for which 2012 laid the foundation. I believe that this year God is going to reveal more of how he wants to use me. I believe that 2013 is going to mean deeper friendships. In 2012, God gave me the words "pure", "precious" and "balance". What words will mark the lessons of 2013? This will be a year of more prayer - more continuous, more intimate, more listening. This will be a year of more focus on eternal value. Skills will be developed in 2013 - communication, academic, organization, discipline.
I'm so thankful to serve a God who doesn't stop at mediocre. I'm looking forward to the challenging growth of 2013 and the fruit the year will bring.
Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. NLT
