Happy New Year!

I hope you have your best year in 2009.  My hope is that whatever was not good for you in 2008 does not reappear in 2009 and whatever was good just keeps getting better!

I’ve been thinking about how I can help make that happen in my own life.  Here’s part of what I’m thinking.  (How ’bout clicking on the verses below and compare notes with me.)

What I’m hearing from the Shepherd is that my heart is kind of like a greenhouse.  Whatever I plant and nurture in my heart and mind will eventually grow and blossom out of my life.  So more than ever I’m resolved to guard my heart and mind in 2009.  After all, that’s where my behaviors will get their start.  Seems silly to only work on the behaviors without having a change of heart and mind, doesn’t it?

Philippians 4:8-9

Listening to the Shepherd for a great new year!
