We had a great time with our family and it seems like the time went by so fast. I miss everyone already, but am happy to be home. I still need to unpack, but gee, the stack of cards and gifts that came while we were gone needed my attention.
Psalm 90 says He will accomplish what concerns me. This is my prayer. Take my weak, cold heart and fan the embers that smolder there. Turn my simple desire to be more like You, to know You more, to become a deep, deep well into a roaring passion that cannot be quenched. It's impossible for me to want Him more unless He draws me. So, I beg Him to draw me. Otherwise, I cannot run.
My goals for 2006 are simple. Pursue Jesus. Write. Hopefully get a new book contract since my second WestBow book will be turned in July 31.
Man, do you ever just feel so inadequate? Sheez. Thank goodness, Jesus is completely adequate and He lends Himself to me.
I also want 2006 to be a year where I abound in love. Do the First Corithians 13 thing. Love is patient, kind, keeps no record of wrong, bears all, believes all, hopes all. Never fails. It's the greatest.

Sounds like a plan to me, Rachel. :)

Great goals, Rachel. My husband and I have started implementing random acts of kindness to strangers. It's been a HUGE blessing to us!
ooh... is it okay if I steal your prayer? LOL I love that.
oh and as to your comment on my blog... yes I'm very aware that there is such a thing as prayers that aren't Holy Spirit led.
Excellent post...I agree with you on every account. ;) Happy New Year!
This is my heart's desire, too. One of the things I want from 2006 is an even deeper, abiding love for Jesus.
