New Years Resolutions??

I was thinking about what my New Years goals and resolutions should be while playing the piano the other night and I was singing this song, and I thought, "I couldn't have better goals and resolutions than these..."
Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee, take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice and let me sing, always only for my King! Take my silver and my gold, not a mite will I withhold. Take my heart it is Thy own, it will be Thy royal throne. Take my will and make it Thine, it will be no longer mine.  Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love! Take my love; my Lord, I pour, at thy feet it's treasure store. take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee." "May the mind of Christ my Savior live in me from day to day, by His love and power controlling- All I Do And Say." 
There is much that I am unsure about in this coming year. I don't know what God has for me, but I am willing and looking forward to seeing what He has for me to do. And I can face tomorrow- because He lives! Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth living- only because He lives. I know I am going to make many mistakes this year, as I do every year, but my Savior will never leave me or forsake me and is ever ready to lead me when I am following Him. I am so very thankful for the friends God has placed in my life who encourage me to trust the Lord when I am unsure and weary. I am so blessed to have family and friends who love me and are praying for me. May we all be seeking the Lord and His will as we launch into 2016. 
Those are my resolutions all summed up:) Will I "accomplish" these goals through out the year? Yes, and No. I will fail- but through Christ, I am more than a conqueror. 
I hope everyone is having a blessed and wonderful start to their New Year.

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Saved by Grace

Recently I was asked to share my salvation testimony- and even though I have done that many times before, I can not help being amazed every time I share it.  I can not help but think how amazing God is for saving me! He continues to love me even when I forget about Him in my daily life! How could I forget about someone who loved me so much, that He died  for me!!? " And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me?" And saying that, I thought I would share my testimony with you as well.  I have been raised in a godly, christian home and therefore, I grew up hearing the Bible read to me everyday.  When I was four years old, Daddy explained to me the importance of having a personal relationship with God. He explained that I could...

Snow And Ice Make It All Look Nice

That's true! It looks so pretty after it has snowed and even prettier once the ice has settled in. {Though I must say that the problems caused by ice are normally not as pretty.} We had a couple inches of ice on top of our snow last week. Although it was gorgeous to look at, there were quite a few snapped trees, and power outages throughout the county. Thankfully, we did not loose our electricity.  And so our winter wonderland came and was gone in 24 hours. It made for some beautiful scenery while milking though:)  In case you haven't picked up on it, I do my best to find something pretty, beautiful and/or good in all my circumstances. No, it's not always easy, and sometimes it takes me a while to find it, but I'm certain it's always there.  Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!  Until next time,  Elise
