I love this song.."O happy Day", sung by Kim Walker. Rock on Girl! This song reminds me of when I first got saved...Easter 2000. It was a happy, glorious day....the angels were definetly singing! wooohoooo!!!
So this year has been a very trying, growing, stretching, two steps forward one step back, drawing closer to God kind of year!! I sound like a growing flower, guess you can say that I am. I'm Gods flower....his precious little flower. God has done some amazing things in my life this year. For a couple of years I felt I was in a dry place, and I did not like it. I felt so far away from God. I asked, pleaded and begged, and cried to God....."Lord change me!!" and that He is doing. I was having a hard time seeing my growth but going back and reflecting on 2010....I can see that He's brought me along way. A place that is closer to Him. Might be an inch...but it's closer to Him :).
This year my word for 2011 is: "Closer"....I want to be closer to Him this year than ever. I want to draw closer to Him, I want to be closer to Him. I just want to bask in presence....just being still with Him. There are alot of things I could go back and do over, but it's not possible. But I can learn from those things and walk on with the Lord.
My Verse for 2011 is: James 4:8 {NLT}
Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you hypocrites.
May God richly bless you, and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
God Bless you,
Walking with Jesus

Hi, I found you from Ann’s.
ReplyDeleteOne step forward and two steps back – that sounds familiar. But you ended up closer. That’s a blessing right?
To be closer to Our Lord – perfect word.
I have prayed today for your year of “closer” to be a holy one.
And your blessing at the end - it's how I end all my stuff - I shorten it - but love the longer, truer version. May God richly bless you, and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
Craig-Yes it was a definete blessing! Thank you soo much for your prayers, I need them. That is my hearts desire to be Closer to Him. Through being with Him when I wake up, threw Him overflowing through me to my husband, my children, my family,and friends. I know that it starts with me drawing closer to Him.
