What does 2014 mean to You?

What does the New Year mean to you? Does it mean dieting, working out, loosing weight and becoming a skinnier you? Does it mean praying more, trusting God more and being a "better" Christian? Or does it mean taking every chance you have at this life to live it to the fullest?

The New Year this year for me has a lot of meaning. I'm graduating in less than 5 months, interviewing at the Seminary in less that 3 weeks, and I've made it into qualification for District Manager with Arbonne! Life is happening for me, and fast!! I can't believe how quickly things have turned around since May last year, or even the beginning of the school year. My life has changed, and my goals have changed. That's why 2014 is so significant to me.

I feel renewed today. I feel different, inspired, encouraged and enthusiastic, for the first time in a long time. 2014 to me means college graduation, growing up, moving on, taking chances, looking forward, and living life to the FULLEST.

I can't wait for what this year will bring because I completely believe that God has a perfect plan for me. I believe that He will help Baylor RUF through this semester. I believe He (and only He) will help me get into seminary. And I believe that He has prepared the way towards May 17, 2014, and onward. I believe there is life waiting.

It's hard. It's rough, and I'll go through a lot in this year. Cause no one ever said seminary (or helping run a ministry) was easy, but I can't wait for it. Because if it's for His Kingdom, it HAS to be good. If we're fighting for and with the King of all creation, isn't that incredible? Even if it's hard, even if it sucks, even if it's hopeless, it's good. Because He's the King.

"Safe? Who said anything about safe? Course He isn't safe. But He's good. He's the King, I tell you."
--The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

So I will find joy in sorrow. Light in darkness. Hope when it seems hopeless. Because Christ HAS come, and HAS redeemed us and IS fighting for us. And nothing could be better than fighting for his Kingdom.





And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ
