I know I actually went back to work late last week at the Teen Center. But, my routine was still off. Today seemed like my real first day back into the swing of things. Time off is nice- and was much needed. But, it felt good to get back to my schedule. As the New Year begins, I am looking at what I want to accomplish in the coming year and where I need to focus.
We talked about that last night at youth so I spent part of yesterday looking up statistics and info on New Year's resolutions. It seems most last only a few weeks unless there is a plan for the resolution ahead of time. I don't necessarily have a resolution, but I am forming a plan for the year ahead. There are some things I want to continue. There are some things I lost along the way last year that I want to pick back up again. And, I suppose new things will become apparent and I will add them to my life.
I am excited about the year ahead. My year for the youth is going to be busy and hopefully full of great opportunities for growth. My year at the Teen Center looks promising as we are in the midst of a remodel, which shows their commitment to the teens and what I want for them. Personally, I feel blessed. I have a new found freedom to do some things I hadn't financially been able to before. The thought of actually taking a vacation after years of not is something I really never considered before recently. I am blessed with great relationships with family and friends. No matter what comes in the year ahead, I feel that with God, my family, and friends, I can face whatever comes my way.
So, where was God today? He reminded me of the blessings I have. And, as I start working in this new year, I am grateful for each new year and the new beginnings it presents.
Blessings,
Jennifer
