I love the beginning of a new year. It gives one the opportunity to start over or set news goals to reach. I felt like last year I was just coasting (although I did finally finish my degree!). I decided that this year I would set some reachable goals for myself that would grow me and challenge me. The two I am most excited about it are praying through Operation World and reading the entire Bible. These are two things I have never done before. I have read sections of Operation World and of course I have read most of the Bible but never all the way through in one year. So far I am doing pretty good. I am already getting more passionate about reaching the lost in the last few weeks that I have been reading Operation World. I can only imagine the things God will teach me and show me as I read about each country and their need for Jesus. I decided to read through an NLT Bible that is in chronological order. So, right now I have been going through Bible stories I haven't heard since I was a kid in Sunday School. It is so different to read these as an adult and God is teaching me a lot about Himself specifically His sovereignty.
I am looking toward this new year with excitement. I already have a trip booked to Lima next month with my parents and husband. I can't wait to see my husband and parents meet their sponsored kids and see the childcare center. I am also planning on going to Guatemala in June. We have 5 large childcare centers there and I look forward to seeing them and meeting our Guatemalan co-workers. God is so good.
With all that said I ask for your prayer as I face this new year head on. I desire to follow God's leadership in my personal life and as I serve at AMG in the Child Sponsorship department. So...what are your plans for this new year?
