Happy New Year! 2019 is just about here! There is something exciting about
the start of the next year. It can be a reminder that we can make a new start,
that we can set new goals, and that we can plan for new experiences. We
can look back on the previous year with different emotions depending on our
experiences, but looking ahead gives us a new slate! I know I am excited for
2019 to start. I have wonderful memories from 2018- where I traveled to so
many wonderful places- but I look forward to new travels coming up. Each
new year also brings new people into my life. I am so grateful for the people
God has connected me with through softball and ministry. I know God puts
them in my life for a reason. And before a new year starts, I always spend
time in prayer asking God to give me a “Word” for the year for me. This past
year my word was “wait”. God taught me to wait upon Him and to trust Him
when I was hoping for change in that moment. God was showing me to
wait upon His plans for me when I started to get anxious. I feel that the
word God has put upon my heart for 2019 is “RECEIVE.” I am excited to
see how God allows me to apply this word to my life this year.
Acts 1:8: “You will RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. . .”
I pray 2019 is an amazing year for you!
