On the last day of 2009, I woke at 6am, the house was quiet. I started reflecting on the year past and became restless.
I spent time looking back at photos, journals and blogs from the last year - special moments, times with friends and family from various parts of the world, holidays, happy times, sad times, ministry, connections and interactions etc.
I thought back to the last New Year. Some of the emotions that I had about how the year ahead would pan out, the dreams I have dreamt, the goals I have set. Some of the goals I set were achieved and the dreams I believed in came true. The obstacles I didn't know I would have to face, yet these unexpected challenges were ok somehow. I know WHOSE I am :)
I was thinking about the new year ahead, vision, mission, dreams, goals and hopes. I have many dreams, I have many personal challenges, yet I feel strong and ready for an exciting New Year.
Five words came to mind as I reflected & prayed:
Transformation
Purpose
Love
Healing
Provision
Out of the five words, TRANSFORMATION is one that I have the strongest emotions to. One of my life goals is to experience the ongoing process of transformation, and help others do the same. It's my heart's desire to be an agent of transformation.
I believe "transformation" is something we allow to be done to us, not something we do by our own power. I pray that we can submit to God's power and by His grace, "change into another form" from "caterpillars" to "butterflies", hence becoming a "new creation." (2 Cor 5:17).
What are your words for 2010?
