It's a New Year: 2012

In the beginning of 2011, I chose a single inspirational word that I desired to live out throughout the year. The word I focused on was grow. Looking back on 2011, it has been a beautiful year of growth in my life: in my faith, in my business, and in my relationships.

This year, I don't have a word or any resolutions. I'm beginning 2012 with hopes and an expectant heart. My hope is that I would know the Lord more and that He would give me the desires of my heart.

These are the desires of my heart:

encourage others

strive daily to become this woman

pray for the nations

see beautiful places

be a better planner and do not eat the bread of idleness

don't sweat the small stuff

buy and fix up a farm house in the country

let my gentleness be evident to all

begin traditions (inspired by this book)

practice hospitality

live, speak, & breath James 1:27

make a joyful noise
