On the morning of New Year's Eve, I spent hours looking back at my photos, journals & blogs from the last few years. I reflected back to the last New Year's Eve and how I was enjoying preparing and planning for our BIG DAY. Some of the emotions that I had about how the year ahead would pan out, the obstacles I didn't know I would have to face in life & ministry.
I was thinking about the new year ahead, vision, mission, dreams, goals, aspirations, desires and hopes for my family, ministries, communities, businesses, my city and the world..... I have many dreams, and I have many personal challenges, yet I feel strong and ready for an exciting New Year.
Five words came to my mind as I think about 2010:
1.Transformation
2.Purpose
3.Love
4.Healing
5.Provision
To me these five words are very powerful. I believe they will keep my spirit strong, they will keep me believing, they will keep me focussed, and they will move me forward. Out of the five words, TRANSFORMATION is one that I have the strongest emotions to. One of my life goals is to experience the ongoing process of transformation, and help others do the same. It's my heart's desire to be an agent of transformation.
I believe "transformation" is something we allow to be done to us, not something we do by our own power alone. I pray that we can submit to God's power and by His grace, "changed into another form" from "caterpillars" to "butterflies", hence becoming a "new creation" (2Co 5:17).
What are some of the words that come to mind when you think about this New Year?

Greetings Kitty!
My daughter, who attends a private christian faith based school here in California, is doing a Nation Notebook on the Country of Australia and one of the pages we had to do research on is missionary work there. When I did the google search, your blog came up as a choice for a missionary in Australia! Yahoo and Congratulations on making the top web results.
I will be visiting your blog quite a bit today reading different entries you have listed and condense some of the material for her to share.
If there is any personal message we can share with her classroom from you about the best part of your ministry there, we would love to hear from you. Have a great day!
Blessings,
Janeen
