i have only one New Year's goal this year. (actaully, i have several requests before god for the new year. but, i think this one goal will help me go through the year however/whenever god answers those requests.) my goal is to not worry. just trust. with joy. that's it. i dont think im excited about the new year. it's really just the next day. but im not dreading the new year either. i have no feelings towards it right now. i'll just have to see how things progress as i go through it. 2007 was difficult. i still haven't figured it all out. so, maybe that's why my attitude is such for 2008. whatever, i guess i cant figure it out. no worries, remember? have a happy new year!
Here's something I read from my "Girlfriends in God" devotional by Mary Southerland:
Worry is a control issue.
Worry is wasted energy.
Worry is consuming and unhealthy.
Worry is a joy thief.
Worry is the interest that we pay today on tomorrow's problems.
Worry is practicing atheism.
Worry makes everything seem bigger than it really is!

"Walking in Faith" - Book Plug
i dont usually read a lot of self-help christian books. but, lately i've been looking for more devotionals to pair with my personal daily bible reading. about a year ago i stumbled onto a daily devotional from crosswalk.com. the devotionals are called "encouragement for today" and "girlfriends in god" anyhoo, "encouragement for today" is hosted by the Proverbs 31 Ministry group. it's written specifically for women. they also sell books. i've bought two so far and have throughly enjoyed them. currently im reading the one below and it has been very good. i also have the devotional which is just a collection of their best devotionals. here's the one i'm currently reading.
