This is Going to be a Great Year!

Well the holidays are finally over and now the recovery begins. I need to recover from the cookies, the nutroll, the fruitcake. I need to recover from too much time with the "extended" family. I need to recover from not exercising for a month. I need to get back in the swing of things again. I'm looking forward to the New Year. I'm hoping it will be a bit different from last year. I'm hoping the Stock Market will come back. I'm hoping Uncle Sam will bail me out of all the credit card bills from the holidays. I'm hoping gas won't hit $5/gallon this year. I'm hoping our new President inspires people to optimism. But most importantly, I'm hoping I can focus on a few things this year and really see some cool things happen. I'm hoping to focus on my spirituality and my relationship with Christ. I want to see Him do some amazing things in my life this year. I want to see Him use me to serve and love people more than ever this year. I'm also hoping to focus on my family this year. I want to be a great husband and father. They're the most important ones in my life anyway! And finally, I want to focus on simply BEING this year. Being God's Child. Resting in His presence. Basking in His love. Learning to wait for Him in every single moment of my life. If I can do that, this is going to be a great year!
