Let it Unfold: New Year's Resolutions

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Just Let it Unfold

It is only a tiny rosebud. A flower of God's design; But I cannot unfold the petals With these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I; The flower God opens so sweetly Would in my hands fade and die. If I cannot unfold a rose bud This flower of God's design. Then how can I think I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine? So I'll trust Him for His leading Each moment of every day; And I'll look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgram way. For the pathway that lies before me My heavenly Father knows; I'll trust Him to unfold the moments Just as He unfolds the rose. --unknown

New Year's Resolutions

My New Year's Resolution this year is to keep my New Year's Resolutions that have built up over the years! Ie. keep my house tidier, loose the weight after the twins, by the way that was resolution 2003 and two kids and 5 pregnancies later! He he! I thought I would get those accomplished before I added more on my seemingly ever growing plate!

On a serious note...I had a great 2007! I started out with my prayers answered when I found I was pregnant with Mandy and had her 9 months later! She is my miracle and continues to amaze me every day! Molly has grown to be a little lady and has some deep philosophical talks with me and Katie made me smile every day! We have been truly blessed!
