EXPECT TO BE SURPRISED!!!


Thank God the New Year is here! The beginning of every new year is always exciting & special. Just feeling like everything is starting over. A fresh start with goals, life, friendships, etc. This year in particular will prove to be one of the best. Last year is gone, with all of its ups & downs, successes & failures, never to go back to it again- Hallelujah! Now pressing on to what lies ahead.


If the way you end the year is any reflection of how the new year will be than this will be a year of incredible blessings, breakthroughs & new beginnings. I am expecting to be surprised on many levels. I look forward to new friendships and strengthening old ones, new adventures & rejoicing in the last ones, new opportunities & gaining from the past ones.


There is definitely something in the atmosphere of this year that is causing me to expect to be surprised. It's a wonderful anticipation of what God is going to do next! Hard to put into words, just an expectancy of what the Lord has promised He will do- "for I know the plans I have for you, plans of a hope & future, to bless you & give you peace" Jer. 29:11


I want to encourage you with every fiber of my being to be expecting to be surprised. God has great things for you this year. And to those who will have faith, trust, believe & expect- you will see the hand of God in greater dimensions than you ever dreamed!!! So don't hurt your neck looking back, look forward & EXPECT TO BE SURPRISED!!!
