2009...

So I have made it my new years resolution to start blogging more. I love when I do, it helps get all the ideas and thoughts out of my head and actually do something with them. I love looking back and reading where I have been, where I wanted to go, and what I have done to get there. My successes, my failures, what I have learned. Some people go with the thought to only look forward, for the past is the past and there is nothing you can do about it. I truly believe in looking forward, to set goals, and to better yourself and make decisions now that will affect my future in a positive way. At the same time, I am a true believer in learning through reflection. Over Christmas I was looking through old photo albums and watching old home movies, and I enjoy that stuff so much. My Granny says I am the most nostalgic person she has ever met. I do take that as a complement, but I have come to realize that I hold on too tightly to my past, and sometimes that affects my present. So basically what I am saying is everything in moderation...haha.

This year is going to be so exciting, because I have absolutely no idea what the Lord has in store for me! But I am open and willing, and that alone to some would be terrifying...and not going to lie, it still is a bit! But that is where a heart must be for something truly amazing to happen!
