2012 the year of ....?

Well I normally start my blogs by saying what has been going on in my week at work, but luckily for me and lots of people I had time of for Christmas, so apart from lying in bed till 2pm seeing my friends and family, and celebrating new year I haven't really done much! I got to lead worship again at my home church today, which was great and was really nice to be back and to see the church and to lead the church in worship...

But what for this year, during church this morning I mentioned a list of things which have happened to me this year already! And it shocked me when reading them out about how much God has been involved in my life in the last 4months! It's a bit like a hot bath... When your in it for a while you don't feel the heat, but when you jump out the cold hits you and you realise how nice it was in it! And it's like that when I came home for Christmas..l I got to jump out of this place and look back and just go wow this is amazing! So god has been touching and working in my 2011 but what about 2012 ... A year of greatness or a year off sadness?


I like to think of going into 2012 like going into a new book when being dyslexic! if you go into the book thinking of the last book, then you aren't going to be focusing on the new book, you will be thinking of the old book, getting confused in the new book, and eventually you will wish you could start the book again! But if you go into a new book with an open mind, you go into the new book haven't learnt from the old book so in terms of dyslexia you go into the new book with new techniques on how to read the new book, then the new book will be easier and better for you! I'm taking that as 2012.... I'm going to learn from my 2011 experience and use them to help me enjoy and benefit from 2012 more! I always feel the way you go into a new year will effect how you come out! I ougo in negatively, unhappy and angry. You will come out worse... By if you goin happy then you will come out a lot better! And thats the idea that I'm Going into this year with... I'm not going to make resolutions.. Or things which I want to complete this year... Im going in saying I want this year to be the Year I offer myself to god the most so he can use me a lot more then I have allowed him to up until now


Hope everyone had a great new year...
