First Blog of the new year!

Well, 20 minutes into my new year and I walk into a wedding. And my first reaction until I got home was... how unfair is that!!! Someone gets what I want YET AGAIN!!! But then in almost a picturesque kind of way slid his arms around me and reminded me to not let the devil use my impatience against me! I could just see God, like a father shaking his head like "Are you serious... I thought we were past all this impatient stuff. If Ive told her once, Ive told her a hundred times that I have a plan. Cant she just trust me!" But instead of beating me down about it... he picks me up and loves on me, cradles me in his arms, and reminds me that hes got my back and I need to trust him.

I could sull up and pout about it and let it sap every bit of joy and peace out of me like I did for all of 2010 and most of 2011... OR I can put on my big girl panties and reamain joyful and peaceful and enjoy being in love with the most incredible person on the face of the planet :) The later option sounds more enjoyable.

I could also let this moment define my new years moment. But instead... what truly defines it was being hand in hand with the man that I absolutely adore and ending my prayer and looking at him and realizing my future has me wrapped in his arms. I also was blessed to have a friend on my other side who has been there for me when no one else understand. Satan will NOT get credit for defining my New Years.... The glory goes to Lord alone.

I didnt get exactly everything I wanted out of 2011... BUT I did get everything I needed. I had love and success and my salvation. I am excited that 2012 has so many possibilities!!!
