2011.

Its hard to believe that 2011 is in fact here. For some reason I thought (like most people) that as soon as it was January 1st, I would get really motivated to do all the things on my list that I want to do this year...Well Jan 1st came and went, and i spent all day in my pajamas....hmmm...

2010 was a huge year for me, with many milestones for myself and my family. Among my 2 sisters and I, 2010 brought us a new baby, a new marriage and a new house. Wow.

Tonight at church my pastor talked about Philippians 3:7-10

"But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."

He said that what these verses are saying is that if you take everything you have, put it in a pile and look at it. If it hasn't gotten you Jesus, it means NOTHING.

So this year, I hope for a lot of things. I hope to make some serious plans to eat better, exercise more, learn guitar and more about my new camera...but most importantly, I hope to grow more in my relationship with Jesus. Because loving Jesus and knowing him is better than anything else.

So here is to 2011 and all that it may bring...But my biggest hope is for more Jesus!
