Its amazing how years come and go whether we want them to or not. Some years have come with a flurry of excitement, some with dread and others with peace. 2012 comes with expectation.... I'm expecting big things to happen. But with that expectation comes fear. I hadn't really put my finger on the fear I was feeling until I read another blog, "A Holy Experience", http://www.aholyexperience.com/2012/01/what-the-new-year-needs-most/.
After reading her thoughts and feelings as she entered the new year, it dawned on me....I'm fearful. I'm afraid that I will not love my husband and children well, I'm afraid that my dreams for the future will disappear with the turning of the year, I'm afraid that I won't grow in grace but that I will stagnate. I don't want 2012 to be the year of fear, I want it to be the year of expectation, the year of intentionality, the year that doesn't just disappear but is one to remember.
Here's to 2012, the year of expectation!
