Hellooo 2009! This year has been crazy… most especially the last month. God has been continuing to affirm me in so many ways. And I am utterly grateful.

For New Year’s I met up my dear brothers and sisters in SFC for lunch at this sister’s apartment. Then we watched a few movies. Afterwards, we went to Holy Hour for adoration and then Midnight Mass.

I rang in the new year with the Blessed Sacrament and Holy Mass. To most people, that probably sounds lame. But this was my most favorite New Year’s celebration yet. Praying to my God right before my eyes, reflecting on the past year, looking forward to the next year… maaann! I can’t explain the extreme peace and love and joy I felt in every part of my body. To know that you are where you are supposed to be, where God wants you to be, is such an amazing blessing.

I’m waiting on the Lord and for the next chapter in my life He is preparing me for. Until then… I am going to fill myself with as much Jesus as possible. I am going to try to be the servant I need to be and more. I will do as much as I can to be used in and every way He wants to use me. I will do my best to stay grounded in my faith and in the Holy Spirit because whatever and wherever He’s going to bring me to… I am definitely going to need it. 

I specifically chose “You’ll Come” because it epitomizes how I look at my life right now. I’m waiting. I won’t be shaken or moved. I’m being healed. My eyes (and my heart) are open. And Christ is revealing Himself. I pray this year we all seek what the Lord truly wants for each and every one of us. May 2009 be the best year yet! 

You’ll Come by Hillsong

I have decided
I have resolved
To wait upon You Lord
My rock and Redeemer
Shield and reward
I’ll wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You’ll come to us
Certain as the dawn appears

You’ll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You’ll come
You’ll come

We are not shaken
We are not moved
We wait upon You Lord
Mighty deliverer
Triumph and truth
We wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You’ll come to us
Certain as Your word endures

You’ll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You’ll come
You’ll come

Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed
