New Year

Can you believe that it is almost 2010? I can't. I don't know where all the time has gone. The older I get, the faster it goes by. 2009 was actually a great year for me. So many good things have happened and God has grown me and blessed me in so many ways. I am so excited to see what my Planner has in store for me in 2010!

Here are a few of the things I'd like to work on for 2010:

1. Love God more and show it more.
2. Be kinder to others, especially my family.
3. Have a more positive attitude.
4. Get out of God's way and let Him use me.

I do not know what God has in store for me in 2010, but I have a feeling its going to be even better than 2009, which was fabulous.

I mentioned in my last post that I wanted to use this blog more for its purpose. My goal is to take pictures throughout each week and put up at least one every week. I want to have this blog reflect what is going on in my life and what God is teaching me. I want this to be reflected through pictures. So my goal is one post a week, hopefully more. Feel free to bother me if I don't do this because its gonna be hard at first to do. I used to love taking pictures, especially being creative about it. But I've gotten away from that and I think that I will be happier having a way to destress with photography. I'd love feedback on my pictures from the followers of this blog. See you next year!

Life

I'm finding life a tad bit difficult right now. God is trying to grow me in some specific ways and satan really doesn't like that. I'm feeling the constant struggle. It's a battle as to whether I'll get what God is trying to tell me today or if satan and my selfish thoughts will get in the way. It doesn't help that this is the end of the semester. I feel like I'm just going day by day, trying to accomplish a long list of tasks to finish out the semester. Nothing is really happening except time is passing by. I'm living for next Thursday when I can put the whole thing behind me and just enjoy life again. It's not to say that I don't enjoy certain things in my life right now, it's just that life has become very monotonous with nothing to spice it up.

Which brings me to my next point. This blog was supposed to be about getting me to take more pictures. That is something that I have always enjoyed doing and that has brought entertainment and something fun to my life. But I get so busy with "life" (school, work, homework) that I miss the opportunities set before me to see the beauty and capture that. I am mulling over a plan. It will only add to my busy, insane life that I have planned for next semester, but it might just help in a way too. Stay tuned for more...
