2011 will be a big year!

I was just thinking about what God spoke to me last year about 2010. He told me it was going to be a year of purification, and that it would be a launching pad of sorts for the rest of my life.

Clearly the most obvious interpretation of that is my relationship with Josh. We fell in love, decided to get married, started wedding planning, and got engaged last year (yes, in that order). So cool the way God dropped that in my heart before Josh and I had even admitted to ourselves that we had feelings for each other.

I feel like God is telling me that 2011 will be a year of breakthrough for me. Obviously I don't know exactly what that means...any picture I had in my head of what 2010 would look like was blown out of the water in the best possible way... :)

There are two pretty big ways I'm going to try to walk out a year of breakthrough:

1) Discipline. I think discipline is required for breakthrough, and it's something I've been lacking in my life lately. I'm mostly talking about physical stuff....eating well, regulating my sleeping habits, that kind of thing.
2) Being more conscious of my spirituality. This might sound weird, but it kind of flows out of the first one. When I'm not disciplined, my flesh is in control...and so that's the realm that I spend most of my time in. I think that's drastically holding me back from my potential in relationships, ministry, etc.


And of course, I'm getting married. :) Pretty excited for that one! I sometimes wish planning my wedding could be my full time job. There's soooo much to do, and it's so much fun!

Anyway, there's my "year naming" blog. Prayers are always appreciated...I don't want to do anything halfway!
