My Lighthouse

MY LIGHTHOUSE
In my wrestling and in my doubts,
In my failures You won’t walk out.
Your great love will lead me through.
You are my peace in the troubled sea.
You are my peace in the troubled sea.
In the silence, You won’t let go,
In my questions, Your truth will hold .
Your great love will lead me through.
You are my peace in the troubled sea.
You are my peace in the troubled sea.
My Lighthouse, my Lighthouse!
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You.
My Lighthouse, my Lighthouse!
I will trust the promise, You will carry me safe to shore. 
Safe to shore.
Safe to shore.
Safe to shore.
I won’t fear what tomorrow brings.
With each morning I’ll rise and sing.
My God’s love will lead me through.
You are the peace in my troubled sea.
You are the peace in my troubled sea.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from my family to yours!!!

I have a list of resolutions that I seem to start every year off with.  They are the exact same every year........ Lose 30 pounds (maybe this will be my year), get more organized (I feel like that's hopeless), and read the Bible through this year.  However, this year is different.  I'm starting off this year differently without this list and I am going to focus on one thing.

Be Intentional

I want to be intentional.  I want to use every chance to share my faith and story.  I want to love my family deeply.  I want to go out of my way to make people feel loved , important and included.  I want to pray with and for total strangers.  I want to live my life to the fullest and leave a mark on others life.

So here is my "list":
I'm going to try harder with my family to make them feel important and loved.

I'm going to call, text and write my friends more often to let them know how much they mean to me. 

I'm going to go out of my way to do things for people.

I'm going to go out of my way to invite people to things and to make people feel welcome. 

I'm going to share Jesus and my story every chance I get.

I'm not just going to read my Bible - I'm going to study it, savor it, memorize it. 

and 

I'm hoping I can be intentional with all that I do.  

Praying 2014 is the best year yet for you!
