I pray that this coming year will be filled with experiences to grow me and stretch me beyond what I could think or imagine. I know with that kind of thinking God could and will most likely bring about hard and even difficult situations. I just don't want to pray empty words that so often in the past I have prayed ... "I pray for a year filled with blessings and prosperity." Not that those things aren't important but I want growth more than anything in my life. Growth brings about change. Actually, it rids me of me. "Me" gets me into jams.
So, I desire to earnestly pray for God to give me the words so that I can experience all He has for 2009 . I know HE will make it interesting. I am reminded of the promise in Romans 8:16-18 that because we are God's children the sufferings (anguish, pain, even growth) is so that we can share in His glory. That's wild. It's amazing!
Happy New Year to my friends and family!
