Last year my best friend and I purchased matching jars from
Ikea and we put all of our blessings into the jar. I put slips of paper into the jar for things
that happened in my life that were good.
I ran a 5K, I made dinner for friends, traveled, purchased a new
car. All the amazing things GOD did
were placed inside of this jar. I also placed scriptures or quotes that made a
significant impact in my life during 2014.
I also had written copies of song lyrics that were significant to
me. I have the names of new friends and
shared experiences I had with people who are important to me. I even had stubs from movie tickets and a
copy of the sermon notes from an insightful message I heard at my church.
Here is a picture of my blessing jar.
The
blessing jar was so much fun to open and read.
I was able to see how GOD was able to show his grace & love many
powerful ways. I was able to fill up 5
pages in my journal with blessings from last year. Reflecting onto 2014, I am not going to lie~
It was challenging. I had to learn a
vast amount of difficult lessons from GOD.
However, I know that GOD is with me and I truly feel him closer to me now
than he has ever been.
It is my
prayer that 2015 is a better year. I don’t
really make “resolutions” like normal people, but I like to set goals. In 2015 I would like to: Complete 5 races (5K’s), Do an in depth study
Isaiah & Zachariah, Save $2000 toward my house, and lose 50 pounds. These are all achievable goals if I stay
focused on GOD. I had similar goals set
last year around this time, but when I got distracted from the LORD, my goals
went out the window. I am going to
make sure this does not happen again in 2015.
I want to live a full life! I
want to look back on 2015 and think: “Wow, what an amazing year that was!”
