"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

What's Ahead?

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

It seems hard to believe in three short days 2010 will be coming to a close. The end of year usually signals for me a time to reflect and think about how things have gone. I question whether or not I've drawn closer to God. Where am I in my spiritual walk? What things do I want to improve or change as I plan for the coming year?

I wouldn't exactly say that I make resolutions with the beginning of a New Year, but I do seek God's will in discerning what things He desires me to focus on. Over the next few days I'll begin the process of seeking His face for wisdom concerning the direction He wishes me to head.

How about you.... do you make New Year's resolutions and how do you go about keeping them? What ways are you desiring to improve?
