2011

I haven't been able to get myself motivated to write on my blog. Not sure why, but I haven't. I do want to do better though. Wow, I can't believe it's 2011. It seems like 2010 went by really fast. Part of me is happy to see it go- it's been such a hard challenging year, but the other part of me knows it's all part of my journey and it's all part of God's plan. I don't really make new year's resolutions. I can have a fresh start anytime I ask God.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
(Lamentations 3:22-23)

However I do have a thought to share for the new year. I heard this song on the radio recently and it really spoke to me. It is my prayer to really focus on ministering to others this year. Check out this song. I will post the words below if you don't want to listen to it. This is Matthew West, "My Own Little World". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR57M80-rzE

In my own little world it hardly ever rains

I’ve never gone hungry or always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet

In m own little world

Population me

I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church

I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give ’til it hurts

and I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see

it’s easy to do when it’s

population me
Info

What if there’s a bigger picture

what if I’m missing out

What if there’s a greater purpose

I could be living right now

outside my own little world

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window

Outside the car, saw a sign, said “Help this homeless widow”

Just above this sign was the face of a human

I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”

So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye

Oh how many times have I just passed her by

I gave her some money then I drove on through

in my own little world there’s

Population two

What if there’s a bigger picture

what if I’m missing out

What if there’s a greater purpose

I could be living right now

outside my own little world

Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours

give me open hands and open doors

put Your light in my eyes and let me see

that my own little world is not about me
