HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2011 walk with God

A New Year, full of uncertainty and anxiety for me, a plannner with NO plan gulp.

What I do know however is that on the 1st and 15th of every month I will be memorizing scripture, so if your interested in joining an online community of woman (sorry boys) go to Beth Moore's website and have a look at this 'challenge' and start join in.

My Current Spiritual Crusade...
I am striving to 'take my thoughts captive'.  As a woman and 'so(le)journer'* of my mind the crazy, whacked out musings, over active imagination, propensity to think of the worst case scenario and all facets and possible outcomes of EVERYTHING in an attempt to be prepared for it all.  (Yes I'm letting you take a sneak peak at how my brain works - run now).  This is a necessary task.

My Material
Beth Moore's bible study 'Breaking Free' provides a section where 5 days are spent on the aforementioned task.  This is my soul focus for the next 5 days - and yes it is terrifying.

The Terror
Its a situation where practical application is necessary, so you pray for patience and what happens your put in a painstaking situation with the most tedious person on the planet and your job is not to have an apoplexy or kill them. Same thing here.

Scripture
The chosen verse is "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You."  Isaiah 26:3 NIV

So the journey of Spiritual Growth begins today and hopefully I can look back on Dec 15th 2011 and see a grown and changed woman, who is better for her time with God.  Like a good wine a Christian woman should get better with age as she walks with God.  The other thing I know 2011 will bring is more character and improvement on who I currently am ~ thank you Jesus, my life verse "Being CERTAIN of this that He who began a good work in you will carry it onto completion until (Jesus comes back)."  Philippians 1:6 NIV

*play on words - I'm the only traveler that gets to experience my mind first hand.
