This morning, at about 6am, we said goodbye to our second oldest daughter, Arryn. She left for Guatemala, where she will be working for at least 1 year. It was a tough goodbye, especially for her, as she had been saying goodbye to family and friends for the past week already. We know that God has some amazing things in store for her as she seeks Him in her life.
On the way home from the airport - a mere 4 hour drive through the mountains and snow - we were listening to the radio and the announcer was talking about New Years Resolutions - you know...those promises you never seem able to keep. This year I am going to lose 20 pounds; excercise more; read my Bible for at least an hour a day, etc. Have you been there? We all have in one way or another.
This year, my resolution is pretty simple - to walk with the Lord each day, no matter what comes, to trust Him with my life and the lives of those I love, regardless of our circumstances, and to step out when I hear Him call, no matter what it looks like.
I want to take risks with the Lord in 2012 that I would not have taken in 2011, not because I have lost my mind and am experiencing some sort of late mid-life crisis, but rather because I am learning that a risk with the Lord is really no risk at all.
Blessings to you and yours for an awesome, inspiring New Year!
