Happy New Year!

I thought I'd wait two weeks before commenting on the New Year, just to experience it a little.

Ok. I forgot to post. You caught me. But these two weeks have been a whirlwind. It started with a random movie night on New Year's Eve. There's nothing like bringing in another 365 days to the songs of Dream Girls. The next week was full of work and quiet evenings. The week after that brought residents back to a very apathetic hall director. Apprehensive feelings are about 80% gone now, and I'm ready for this semester. Blessings: full time job, free room and board, close friends that are now close, healthy family.

At the end of last year I began to realize how important it was for me to trust God to provide everything for me. This mostly meant material things to me. After a message this Sunday though, and a random devotional that fell into my lap, I'm getting the message more that God will even provide my deepest, innermost desires. Desires that I can't even identify sometimes. I just need to be willing to give up my striving and control. This is a new year, bring on the change.
