Thrive! Enter the year with an expectant heart! That was the message from Pastor Doug at this mornings service. As 2011 slipped away into oblivion at 11:59:59 PM last night, a sigh of relief came over me. It was finally over, done, gone and just a figment of my memory. I had thought that 2010 was a year to forget but I was wrong. 2011 presented itself as a year of hope but became a let down. When I went to service this morning, I did so with peace and more joy then I had in a long time. 2012 truly is a year of hope and great prosperity. How can I say this and know it's true? I realize, I was wrong about last year, but I also made some grave mistakes that cost me. The cost was mental, physical and financial, but I've learned from this. I've learned that I am repeating mistakes that I've made before and now was the time for change.
Pastor Doug went on to say that there are four things to expect this year...
- Expect a prophetic word.
- A new word and Proverbs 29:2 came to mind
- Where the righteous thrive, the family will rejoice!
- Expect a message.
- Repentance
- Forgiveness
- Expect to be Fruitful.
- Expect a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
I've grown spiritually this past year and for that I am thankful for of last year. The strains placed on myself and my family weighed heavy through the year. I have created a plan and have been monitoring it and sticking to it. Making adjustments as needed to stay in line with my set goals for 2012. I've made positive changes and have created constant reminders to keep me on track. I see great freedom just around the corner and have the days marked on the calendar. Counting the days until I am free of some major debt. I've sought out knowledgeable people that can help me overcome my fears and get my creativity started. I've regained the confidence I had years ago that helped me climb to new success.
So if you're looking to make a New Years Resolution look no further. Make the first one a commitment to yourself, your dreams, your goals, your greatest desires. Take them all and make a plan to have a Happy and Prosperous New Year. This will bring you Success from within!
