Reflecting over the year 2010, I look at it as a year of growth with my Savior. I am so thankful for the experience, although I would not want to walk through the experience again. Last year was a real struggle in my workplace, while at home we were reeling from my husband's diagnosis of MS. Yet, I find it's reflection filled with the sweet aroma of Christ.

Just before the year 2010 began, my Lord knew what was needed before I even asked. My sister, Joyce, invited me to attend a few conferences with her and the women from her church. One of those conferences featured Kay Arthur, Beth Moore, and Priscilla Shirer. That conference, coupled with direction of the Holy Spirit, changed my outlook on what was yet to come. Rather than letting fear and man direct my paths, I allowed God to pull me closer to Him.

Funny, most of us want to walk closer to God. Yet, most of us won't get off our behind to do anything about it. This requires prayer, time in the word, and the risk of looking foolish. I am soooo thankful for the journey.This year, I am excited about a new adventure; memorizing two scriptures a month with the Siesta Scripture Memory Team! I am going to memorize 24 (or more) scriptures this coming year.

Follow the link ( http://www.lproof.org/MediaFiles/PDF/SMT2011SpiralNotebook.pdf ) and print the pdf file to begin your spiral notebook and log your scriptures.

This will be your ticket to a Beth Moore/Living Proof conference designed especially for the group! Find more information at http://blog.lproof.org/ . I am looking forward to starting this journey!


I don't know what else the upcoming year may bring, but I know whose going to be there with me every step of the way.
