I have spent a majority of my day with family and it is a blessed way to end the week seeing and being with the ones that you love. I am excited for this new year and what God has planned for me. Which is surprising a little bit to me because I don’t like surprises and since the 1^st of January my life has been a series of surprises and different turns .

     But I am  excited because I don’t know how else to be. His word says , He wont forsake me, His word says He goes before me, His word says He gives me everything I need to complete each and every task He gives to me , so I am excited.

      I have spent my lift trusting in people, trusting in jobs, trusting in myself. Like most people do. But God in His word said, to trust Him only , because people will disappoint me, life will disappoint me , even I will disappoint me (the most) really . So when I began to trust Him only , I began to love better and be a better person to the ones around me. I began to forgive better , easier and more genuinely. And as I trusted in the Lord, I began to be first devoted, and then committed. Last year I took the step into full time ministry , my entire life is considered ministry to me, I don’t have a job to tithe a pay check , so I tithe my time. I give my every day to the Lord and let His will be done with the direction of the holy spirit. I am not perfect but I do my best to give Him all of me .

     Along with being  fully committed to God I am  faithfully in pursuit of my passion and to lay my reputation , career and life on the line for what I believe in the most, The Gospel, God the Father, Jesus Christ as my savior.  I was in full time ministry last year, and do the same this year but the focus on ministry has changed as I have grown in the knowledge of my purpose , God has given me the direction and desire to use my talents to promote and exhort His kingdom and edify His name, through writing.

         This next poem describes my mindset for this next year. I hope you enjoy !
