I'm looking forward to a great year in quilting, but most of all, I'm looking forward to what God has in store for me as I begin the year with a new Bible study and commit myself to opening my heart and mind even further to his teaching and leading.
One very important goal for my physical health is to lose a few (ahem) pounds, and for my emotional health, to be content where I am no matter my circumstances, to lower my expectations of others and raise my own, and to find the true joy that I know is in my heart that the Holy Spirit keeps trying to show me, to have less of a poor me attitude, and more of finding my true happiness in the Lord and not looking for other people or material things to make me happy.
So, my friends, thanks once again for "listening" and Happy New Year to you!
You've spoken some wise words here, Jodi. Great truths that we should all aspire to. What Bible study are you participating in? I start a Beth Moore study, on the book of James, next Tuesday morning. Blessings for a peaceful 2012.

Lose "ahem" a few more pounds.
