HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ * ~ 2009 ~ * ~

As I am sitting here in front of the computer I am reflecting over this past year! God is so GOOD!! I can not express how thankful I am for all that I have!! 2008 went really fast!! Although it seems the years have flown ever since I turned 21 ;o)! As I get older, I value time and relationships more, I think of things different and with each year I have become more aware of what God has given me. It is natural for most of us to have at least a mental list of things we want to change or accomplish with a new year! Some people want to lose weight, get in shape, save more money, spend more time with their kids, take a trip...the list is endless really! Personally all of those sound like things I should do.... but one thing that I want to accomplish in 2009 is "being content". I have had this discussion with my mother-in-law...and what I mean by this is, I am always wanting more or I want to change things. Like new clothes, new body, new vehicle, new kitchen floor, changes in my house, my hair and there are plenty more. Although we all do this...I really am praying and seeking for this contentment. I know God wants me to be content with what he has given me instead of always wanting more. So as each of you begin your New Year, I really do hope and pray that you too will be content with all that you have been blessed with... May you all have a year filled with Love and Happiness! Thank you for being a part of our lives! HELLO 2009!!!!!
