Revived Dreams

Just a thought about the new year! I did quit making resolutions, only kept my desires within my dreams, and prayers...seemed easier to me to acheive my goals this way...silently between me and God...

I didn't make any new years resolutions this year and I'm glad I didn't. God will provide me with a path, I believe. Liz
Reviewed by Sandie May Angel-Joyce 1/31/2009
Sometimes we just have to put ourselves in God's hands. I had made new year resolution in the past, but have not followed through for reasons of this and that. I have decided this year I will just expect the unexpected, and let God lead my way.

How true, Joyce, I especially liked the next to last stanza-those last two lines are what people forget most.

Joyce, I do believe this is what God expects us to do...have a positive outlook in our lives and "not" to allow negativity to enter. I loved this much and got a real blessing from it. I've missed AD writers so much and it feels so great to be reading & hearing from all of you again. God Bless.

I only hope this year will be much better than last; it can't possibly get any worse! It's already very bad now! God help us, that's all I can say, and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!

The power of positive thinking. "With faith in God I place my dreams
believing and waiting for my destiny to unfold resting and knowing
tenderly each He carefully does hold but my part I must do as well
praying and believing." Very well said my friend. An excellent write.
Reviewed by Marcia Miller-Twiford 1/3/2009
Wonderful! We forget that praying isn't always enough, we must also do what we as mortals can to obtain our desires, aleviate our troubles...

as you wrote so eloquently:

"tenderly each He carefully does hold
but my part I must do as well"
Reviewed by Jeanette Cooper 1/3/2009
