Am I the only person who is totally excited for 2017? Something about the #17 just feels good. I do know that # 17 symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory."  In the Bible God overcame sins of rebellious humans on the 17th of the second Hebrew month. The #7 has multiple meanings. 1) when I'm in prayer coming against spiritual or demonic attacks I'm rebuking and sending it back sevenfold meaning whatever Ill or evil thing anyone is speaking over me or my family it will be sent back multiplied by 7 or whatever positive you put into the world I believe you will receive it back multiplied by 7. 2)  Seven is the number that represents completeness and perfection. 3) Gods sabbath is on the 7th day 4) The # 7 is the foundation of Gods word. 5) In the book of Hebrews, the apostle Paul, uses 7 titles to refer to Christ. The 'Heir of all things' (Hebrews 1:2), 'Captain of our salvation' (2:10), 'Apostle' (3:1), 'Author of salvation' (5:9), 'Forerunner' (6:20), 'High Priest' (10:21) and the 'Author and finisher of our faith' (12:2). There are several meanings which can be found on bible study.org 

Those 5 alone make me feel like God is going to do something great for many people who felt Gods forgotten about them and he is going to show many he is always and has always been in control! 

2016 was a good year for my family and I. It wasn't perfect but it wasn't horrible. I've had my share of some pretty bad years. Years of loneliness, miscarriages, losing friends, not getting promoted on jobs I felt I deserved, being broke, in debt, feeling depressed, having constant anxiety etc. I mean I had some really bad years. But through it all I trusted God and leaned on him and not onto my own understanding and God has blessed me tremendously! I will remain humble knowing that seasons may change in a snap of finger and with that being said I don't take for granted all that I have and I thank God for life everyday. Gosh I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This year my goal is to be more intentional about making time with my friends and family. Life can get so busy but with the many deaths Ive seen in 2016 I know that time with the ones you love is very important because life tomorrow is not promised. My next goal is to blog more and be consistent.

I have a very bad flaw of starting things and not finishing but with prayer and determination that flaw will be non existent. I am so determined to get a blog out at least twice a month and if I can do more then great. I have so many things on my heart that I want to do this year but I want it be approved by God first. I want more of Gods direction in the choices I make rather than my own direction! I need God to be the GPS in my life. Too many times we depend on Siri or google to answer our questions or give us directions to only end up frustrated or lost. We must trust God instead. 

Cheers to 2017 and may you all experience Gods blessings over your life.
