HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wow! Here we go again!! Another year over, another one beginning. You know how they say New Year, New You? Well I don't want a new me, I want the real me. Everything that G-d has made me to be, the women I'm destined to be, that's what I want.
This last year I heard a wonderful saying that just stopped and made me think.
"You become, by beholding."
If that's the case, what am I beholding? A great little reminder to keep my focus on the Lord if you ask me.
Ps 27:4 One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to BEHOLD the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. NKJV
even the psalms direct us to behold Him, all the days of my life, *sigh* and this next year I'm making a commitment to do that double fold!
At the end of each year I ask the Lord for a scripture, something that I can spend the next year meditating on and seeking after and you know what He gave me?
Ps 63:8 My soul follows HARD after thee, your right hand upholds me. KJV
Truly and new hunger for Him has risin up in me. My soul will not be satisfied with what I have with Him now, when I wish to get to know Him more. It's about relationship and like all relationships, you get to know that person more and more, falling in love with them more and more. My intimacy with G-d must grow and with it, my love and devotion. Here's a few commitments I have for 2011 that will help nurture this.
Spend more quiet time with Abba: including more prayer and reading of the Word.
be more aware of what I watch on tv, at the movies and the internet
lessen the amount of time I spend with my I-Pod. (it's not me it's you)
Cultivate the friendships that G-d has brought into my life and make more of an effort to stay connected.
It's not a completed plan, but it's a beginning. Just like my relationship with G-d, it's just the beginning, always growing and changing.
I'm expecting so much more for 2011, Adventures, surprises and lots of laughs. Most of all I'm expecting Jesus, Yeshua, the lover of my soul to show up and show off in my life.
G-d Bless everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
