A New Year and a New View

January 2011... Already???

Amazing! I have had so much happen in the past few months that as you can see I have not been here to share my thoughts... Mostly because I have not had time to even consider my thoughts. Not to mention finding the time to actually type them out!

I will start of by saying God is AWESOME!!! And, since so many of you have followed my journey to health let me start of by saying God has allowed me and truly helped me achieved all the goals I set for my physical health! I have lived out Philippians 4:13 KJV "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" God has been so faithful to help me on this journey. My last and final visit to my Dr. all my blood work came back perfectly! All the indicators of early onset of diabetes gone! High Blood pressure gone! I am in a healthy weight range for my age and height for the first time since I was in middle school... and best of all I feel amazing! I have maintained that this journey is not just about physical health and I still tell you that today, it is NOT... God has been faithful to continue to heal me mentally of the stinking thinking (see my earlier blogs!) and to help me heal emotionally, to be open to new relationships and strengthening my interactions with others in new and exciting ways. and best of all... spiritually God has drawn me into a closer more intimate relationship with him. To a place where I am getting to know Him better and trust Him in ways I never would have ever been able to imagine!

For 2011 the key verse God has placed before me is Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. I truly desire to live out this verse this year... I know it is not going to be an easy path to walk. However as someone very dear to me has told me repeatedly lately... “that if it were easy, everybody would be doing it” and when I was on my face before God recently listening to His voice guiding me and directing me in the face of a very large decision, He took me to Isaiah 52:12 ...For the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your rear guard." What an amazing promise! So even when I am fearful of what the future holds... I know who holds my future and I know He is preparing the way for me to walk in and He has my back!!!

Happy New Year my friends, I am praying that God be more real to you this year then ever before! I pray that He pour out blessing upon blessing in your life and that it will overflow into the lives of all those you touch!
