new year, new thoughts

i am sitting here watching one of my favorite christmas movies...fallen angel. as i am watching i realize that with each christmas comes hope. that hope is christ, our redeemer, our future and our savior. christmas brings the christ child, born of a virgin, only to be sacrificed for all of our sins. with each new year brings more hope. hope for things to pass, things to come, and for the here and now. sometimes my hope seems so trivial, sometimes desperate. i know that another year is passed and a new one is here! it is up to me to place myself in the hands of hope, with his loving arms around me. i can make resolutions for the coming year and most likely i will fail at keeping them. i will never fail in my love for my god, my study time in his word or being thankful the his grace, which i so do not deserve. i would like to find someone to share my life with, maybe  two people who find each other in the midst of chaos and in the power of his love..... his unending love.
2012 brought me two more bundles of joy, abram and elliott! add caroline to that and my heart is full. mom and dad came to visit twice this year to meet the boys, it was so good to have time with them. the moores and campbells were truly blessed this year!
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1st corinthians 13
welcome 2013 to my life! during this new year i will do ALL of the following:
love, believe, HOPE, and endure!
god bless each of you reading this in the new year. make the best of what you have and never forget to:


Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and  grace!
