I turned 28 last Friday (9/19) and have been pondering the question "What does the year ahead hold for me?" Although I did not hear an audible answer from God nor did I read it in a horoscope, I am starting to get a few answers slowly but surely.
Since having Addison various areas in my life have taken a backseat - some things due to my negligence others just because there wasn't enough time. I think this next year will be a coming out of sorts - the woman God created me to be will take center stage this year.
I have always struggled with the question "what do you like to do?". For some reason I have had only few answers, maybe because I have feared failure at starting something new, maybe because I am just boring, either way, I want to be able to answer that question this year.
My place beside my husband in ministry needs to reignited. When we were first married, I traveled everywhere with Adam (in the U.S. as well as to the Philippines and many times to Russia). I stood with him in pulpits, sometimes actually preaching myself. I used to find it easy to encourage him and focus on the ministry fully (not to mention my own relationship with the Lord). These days things get so hectic that I have to remember to encourage Adam, and I have to use discipline to read the bible. This year my goal is that I will daily stir up the gifts that God has given me, using them to help others.
The year ahead will hopefully hold another child. Adam and I are trying for baby #2 and look forward to an extension in the family.
All in all this year is due to hold many changes in most of the areas of my life. My prayer is that I will walk through the transitions with grace, that I will receive God's peace in the process and that my love for my family, our church and God will increase abundantly.

Kids definitely change our role in ministry... it's natural but sometimes disconcerting. I'll be praying for you as you seek your place this next year.
Yeah, baby #2!! =)
