"renew a steadfast spirit within me"

I know already did a post with the title "NEW year"..but I really didn't talk about 2011 at all. So here it is. I am excited for this year. I believe that it will hold many changes and challenges and I so ready for this. Last year I was so sure that I would be moving to California at some point during the year. This year I know that I will be moving to California, but I also know that this will be in God's time NOT mine. So maybe not even this year (I am praying that it is this year though) I am very encouraged by the fact that this is bigger than me and that there are many people praying about this with me. You can pray with us if you like? ♥
I am preparing myself to say good-bye to many dear friends, people that have been around me my whole life. This makes me a little bit sad.  But I know a lot about being far away from friends and still being close to them. I am not worried about losing touch with friends. I am worried about missing people, also something that I know a lot about. But aswell as saying farewell I will be saying a huge HELLO to my American family. And this I am excited about. When I first went to California in 2004 the LORD planted something sweet in my heart, in 2006 I said to my dear friend, Nikki, that one day I would be living over there and in 2009 the LORD told me it was time to get moving!

So really, I don't know what 2011 is going to hold. But I do know who's hands it is in and this fills be with confidence!

I got baptised when I was in California in 2009. Another dear friend of mine, Karen, read out the bible verse I chose. I should do a post on my baptism, it was definitely the LORD's decision. Anyway, the verse that I chose was Psalm 51:10
"Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
This is still my prayer.

One things for sure, in 2011 I will be praising the LORD.
