Another Year in the Books

It's hard to believe that today is the last day of 2012. The year seems to have gone by so fast with 2013 looming big tomorrow. I'm so thankful for God's faithfulness over this past year. He has protected, provided and loved as only He can. He's done things I didn't expect Him to do as well as not doing things I did want Him to do. Regardless of anything, He knows what's best :) I'm looking forward to 2013 and seeing everything the Lord has planned. Today I choose to thank the Lord ahead of time for this upcoming year. I choose to follow Him wherever He may lead. I choose to trust Him in everything. I'm going to fear the Lord and not others. I'm going to put what He thinks above what others think. I'm going to live 2013 as His child. I can't help but think of what Psalm 9:9-10 promises me, "The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you." Thank you Lord for 2012 and the new year :)
