I wanted to take a minute and just thank God for all of the amazing things that I have seen this year. All of the healings and manifestations of His presence that I have been priviledged to witness. It is astounding what God is doing in this Earth right now. There is so much heartache and pain and suffering around the world that we so often don't see or even hear about what God is doing. I am so grateful for this journey that He has taken me on!
He has exceeded my expectations all over the place. For starters... I have never finished a New Year's Resolution before. But beyond that, one of my dreams has always been to travel the world. I started a family when I was very young and missed out on that opportunity. Through the internet, I have been able to travel... well my words and my experiences have traveled anyway, to every continent - except Antarctica :)
I can't even begin to tell you how many people in different countries have found my blog - because Blogger only shows the top 10 - :( I am guessing it is somewhere around 30 countries, maybe more. To be honest, I am not even sure how people found it being that I only gave the web address to a few close friends. I get so excited though when I login almost every night and I see the different countries turn green on the little map. I am getting to spread the Good News that Jesus is Lord and He is Alive and He still heals and cares throughout the world without leaving my bedroom! That still astounds me!
Well Thank You, God, again, for an amazing 364 days! I cannot wait to see what You are going to do in 2012!
Love,
Cara

Day 364 - December 31, 2011
Today is the last day of 2011. The completion of another year and this New Year's Resolution. I spent the last half hour of 2011 (and a few minutes into 2012) in prayer and just talking with the Lord.
It is amazing the wonderful things that He will share with us if we are willing to listen. His hopes, His designs, His plans. I was sharing with a young lady yesterday about how, if we are willing, God will talk with us like we talk with each other. He is that friend who is closer than a brother. I was sitting down to lunch and felt this intense bout of loneliness all by myself in this house (Something I would normally cherish!) Then I thought that there is no reason that I should eat lunch by myself. I invited the Lord to sit down and have lunch with me. His response: "It's been quite awhile."
She asked me, "Do you mean that He talks just like you and I talk." Yes. That is what I mean. He is just longing for someone to listen...
I think I just got my answer... I had been asking God, as this year and this blog have come to a close... what to do in 2012? I think I will make time each day to stop and listen to Him. I think I will continue to post it on here as a way to keep me accountable. (If I don't write for a couple of days I have some ladies that come after me! LOL) I hope that what I do is pleasing to Him. I know that this will be a great adventure in my walk with Him. I pray that everyone has an awesome adventure with God this year!
