2012 Are You Ready?

As most of us during this time of year will take a moment to look back at the year. Then you start to dream for 2012. As you look into 2012, do you DREAM BIG or do you settle for day to day life? Something to consider.
Recap of 2011:
*Spent the New Year in Arkansas. Going back to California to finish Mercy, Looking for Freedom.
*Spent the first four months of 2011 at Mercy Ministries. challenging time but the outcome has been life changing. Healed, Restored, Hopeful, Challenged, Excited for life, Free.
*April 13, 2011 Graduated from Mercy. Best day of my life in 24 years. I had a newness about life and ready to live life. God did a Miracle. Do you believe in Miracles?
*May got a job at Arkansas Counseling. A job I actually loved.
*July 4, 2010 had a boating accident. PT for a few weeks. Wasn't fun but thought me to just be STILL and not always on the go. Also slowed down my exercise. God showed me the importance of rest! If you know me I'm a spit fire always on the go!
*August 2010 spoke with Nancy at a small church in Arkansas. Giving God the glory in all things is my goal.
*September started College back and finished with a 4.0 for the first time.
Went to a Woman's Conference and saw some Mercy Sisters.
* November started helping out in 412 ministries at my church. Its fun to not just work day to day with 5-7 graders but also serve in the church with this age group.

Just a quick year in review. I am thankful for 2011 and where God has brought me out of the mess I was in and turned it into a message that others can benefit from. But as we role into 2012 my heart is about to explode for the vision and heart I have to change one life at a time. I know that God is up to something big in my life and a lot of others around me. I didn't go through all the things that I did to just sit around and get by day to day but I came out on the other end to CHANGE THE WORLD. God has called each of us to be the Light of the World where ever we are. So whether you are sitting in an office each day, selling things, making phone calls, whatever it is find a way to make a difference in one person's life that day. Gods ready to use YOU but are you ready to be obedient to his call in 2012? Lets take the eyes off of ME and turn it into serving others.

Week 1 Goal: Make a difference in one person's life each day.
Whether that's a hug, word of encouragement, a smile, listening to someone, praying for someone, making a phone call to someone you have needed to do for a while, forgive someone, write a letter to someone. Just a few ideas. If you have more of a creative way leave a comment. I'd love to hear how you are making a difference in one's life!
