A New Year

The holidays over and the decoration have been put up for awhile now, except some of my snowmen, I keep hoping for colder weather. We did have snow this week, only for a couple of hours but snow just the same. The snow was the biggest flakes that I can remember seeing in quite a few years. I heard last night on TV that we might even get another winter weather storm tomorrow. My daughter is excited about the thought of possible snow again.

Today I sit and write my yearly letter to Jesus. I write this letter almost every year to acknowledge Him for the past year and all that He has done for me, tell Him what I would like to see happen this year in me, and to tell Him of some things that I want. I'm struggling this year with the things that I what to see Him do. For some reason, this year it feels like if I give a list of the things that I want that I'm putting limits on Him and all He can do. My list can't even fathom what my Lord could do if I let Him work His way. Yet, aren't we supposed to petition our Lord? I just have to pray about it some more and let Jesus work through me in this letter as documentation of what could happen this year or what will happen this year. I have always been amazed as I get out the previous years letter of what I've asked, what I received and why some of those thing couldn't work for my good. The letter is still going to be written just maybe not finished today.

Lord, as I go about this letter fill me with you so that I can be on the same page as you. Help me to be specific about things and yet still leave the door open for you to work. Guide me daily in seeking Your face and guidence. In Jesus' Name Amen
