The In's And Out's of 2012

I have contemplated for three days, what words of wisdom I could give you for 2012.   For some 2011 was a year that you can say that you're glad it's over.  Last year I fell and broke my foot.  I don't notice the progression of this post polio thing until something like that happens and I have to realize that here is one more thing I am not able to do anymore.  But other then that it was a year full of blessings. I got to meet one of the people I respect and admire most. I spent a few days with my sister and my parents. I went to a Joni & Friends retreat and a retreat in NC to see my friend Mina.  God also blessed me with a new van and power wheelchair and He gave me a new job.   Most of all, he continues to bless me with a wonderful family and friends.  That is what I am most grateful for.  When I look ahead to 2012, I know there will be trials but here is what I know for sure, God will go before me and see me through whatever it is and I will be a better, stronger person because of it.
Yesterday I heard a wonderful message on "A Year Of New Beginnings".  It was about what I should leave out in 2012 and what I should put in.
Leave burdens behind.  If we could just learn to give everything over to God and then leave it there, we would have so much more peace. We are so prone to give God control and then take it back. Leave it with Him. Remember that nothing happens to you that has not been filtered through His nail-scarred hands.  He knows the outcome and you can trust that He has your best interest at heart. I look forward to sharing with you some of the ways God has done this for me in my life, once I let go.
Leave behind any resentments.  Resentment leads to bitterness and unforgiveness and this is not healthy.
Leave your failures behind. God is not through with you yet so just hang in there and keep trying and learn from your mistakes.  Grab hold of the future and right now that is 2012.

So what do I need to add in to 2012? I want to have a consuming passion to know Jesus.  To spend more time with Him in prayer and in His Word.  I need to do be passionate about this and not do it out of a sense of duty.
I want to have an overflowing love for others.  I love people, I really do.  When the Doctors told me I shouldn't work anymore, I tried it.  But I couldn't stand not being around other people.  So I went back to work part-time.  Staying home alone everyday was unhealthy for me. But do I have an overflowing love?
Do I have a right relationship with Jesus Christ?  Yes, I'm saved and on my way to heaven.  I know that with out a shadow of doubt.  But am I giving my all?  He did, He gave His all for me on the cross.  So am I worshiping Him as I should?
So here is my resolution for 2012.  I want to be a better child of God then I was last year.  Someday I will stand (yahoo) before Him and I want Him to be able to say, "Well done my good and faithful servant"
