Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary!

I wanted my first blog post of 2011 to be on my blogging anniversary, but I couldn't really wait another day. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my first blog post back in 2009 meaning I have been writing posts into the bloggersphere for TWO YEARS! I can hardly believe it!

What started out as a curiosity has become a big blessing to me. It has connected me to so many people (you know who you are!). And I am humbled and grateful for my loyal readers, as well as, my many occasional visitors. I continue to hope that you will be encouraged and inspired by what you read!

I am excited about the new year and all that is to come! Each day full of new possibilities and opportunities to trust God! I don't really make resolutions because I think they set you up for failure. But what I do know is that God has a plan for my life and my desire in 2011 is to allow Him to do His thing (instead of trying to do it all on my own -- I know from experience that doesn't work out very well).

So a toast, to friends new and old, to family, and friends that feel like family -- Thank you for your love and support and Happy New Year!

"For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (JEREMIAH 29:11)
