Welcoming 2011 in New Mexico...
It's been a while since I personally have been in Albuquerque for Christmas. This is without a doubt a very special Christmas/New Years for me because I have my daughter and my husband with me on this trip. We haven't taken this trip with Lillie, well, ever and it has been at least 3 years since Jason has been to NM. Also, I get to spend some extra special time with my youngest cousin, Keller and his friends. Keller, if you read this, I love you as if you are my brother and you mean so much to me. I miss you and the fam so so much!
Being in Albuquerque in the winter is absolutely gorgeous! The snow covered mountains take my breath away every time I look. I've forgotten just how beautiful the desert is especially in winter.
As soon as I woke up this past Thursday morning, I grabbed my camera to capture this God-painted canvas outside the kitchen window. This is what I found when I opened the front door...
A Tumbleweed! Welcome home...
The New Year inevitably brings resolutions. I choose NOT to make resolutions every year simply because I know I will never complete them. I'll give up, I'll lose out and become discouraged. So, this year I choose not to make resolutions as normal, however, I do choose to experience a change in the very depth of my being...my heart. A change in my heart that I might know the truth, know the hope and have a heart that truly enjoys the Lord! My resolution for 2011, is not to make goals and not to strive...BUT to LIVE, and true living comes from faith...faith for the change hoped for and the transformation that is unseen. Praise the Lord!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for...
the evidence of things not seen...Hebrews 11:1
