another year....

sometimes it's good to take a moment and reflect back on the last year... to see all the changes..... all the experiences.... all the travels.... all the people.... that have impacted your life and just be thankful for the good times and the bad times.

to all of you who have touched my life this last year - THANK YOU!

i was reminded in church this morning that GOD doesn't need you and me to fulfill his plan - his plan is not contingent upon us.... but he wants us to be a part of his plan and he invites us to participate.

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I?
That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am.. I am Yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,

Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am...
I am Yours, I am Yours.
I am Yours,

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,
I am Yours.
