I can't believe 2013 is already here. I guess there is truth to the saying, 'the older you get the quicker time flies'. 2012 was full of great moments, unending blessings, and much sanctification. I am so grateful for the work the Lord did and am eager to see what this new year holds.
As Keith and I await the arrival of our sweet Brayden, who can come any day now, I have been wondering what God may want to grow me in this year. I know that there will be much sanctification with a little one, and yet specifically I have no idea with that will entail. However, as I have thought about what my prayers for this year should be, they all point back to John 3:30, "He must become greater; I must become less". It seems simple enough, and yet I know it has been and will continue to be a lifelong process until I am made whole in heaven.
What this looks like practically changes with each season of life and even with each day. Making Christ great, must be my faithful pursuit. As a wife, and a soon to be mother, I am called to be faithful, to lay down my desires and my wants so that I might meet my husband's and my son's...why? So that HE, Jesus Christ, might become greater in my life, and I might become less.
I know that it is only through the enablement of the Spirit through the power of the Gospel that this is even possible, but my prayer is that I might excel in this pursuit, by His grace and for His glory. May 2013 be a year where HE increases in my life.
