verse of the year || 2012

{2012}
I'm not much of a yearly planner.
I don't make resolutions.
I don't sit and make a list of all the things I want to accomplish in the year.
Maybe I should, but I don't.
I guess I would rather focus on keepin' on keepin' on, instead of overwhelming myself with lists and to-do's and must-get-done's.
Then God gently reminded me of a verse dear to my heart, given to me by a woman who was dear to me.
I can't think of something better to claim and pray over myself and my family than this incredible piece of God's word.
"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
I'm looking forward to reading this post in early 2013 and being able to see God's hand, fulfilling His word in my life throughout the year.

I find it funny that you of all people "Mrs. McOrganized" doesn't do a list of resolutions or hopes for the year -- but I think a verse is just as good ;) And a great verse to boot! XoXo*S

Agreed. Excellent verse! We are working on new beginnings this year too, and this verse really hit home. Thanks for sharing :)
