2.0.1.2.

When the ball dropped at midnight this year it was different. 2012. A new year, a fresh start. New Years has always been magical to me for some reason. I guess it's just the thought that maybe this year will be better than the last - it's a time for reflection and assessment. I do it without even realizing it. It's like a much needed restart after getting through the busyness of the holidays; all the visiting, shopping, cooking, preparing. For some it's exciting, for others its a yearly struggle. New Years is like pressing the fast forward button to a new chapter. Life comes to a halt suddenly, we flip the page, and keep moving. It's such a lovely feeling.

Everyone talks about resolutions. "In 2012 I will [_____]." Get healthy, go to church, blog every day, write in my journal, read my Bible daily. Fill in the blank with whatever your resolution may be. But after the first two weeks burnout happens and we revert back to how we were at the end of the previous year. It's a little disheartening isn't it? My solution is to resolve to NO resolutions. Just be more attuned to how God is working in your life daily and you don't need a resolution to get a good start to the new year.

So whatever you may be struggling with, whatever your resolution is, put it in God's hands and resolve to let Him guide you in 2012. After all, His plans are better than ours anyway :)

Happy 2012.
