New Year, New People, same old me

Wow so 2009 is over! Take a long breath of fresh air.....

To summarize 2009. Perfect. It will be hard to top 2009, but we can sure hope! Lets see the list of the 5 best things of 2009.

5. Winning my first grass volleyball tournament.

4. Finally graduated college. Not soon enough.

3. Won national championships with some of my favorite people on the planet.

2. Signing to play pro ball in Belgium. And the team is awesome!

1. Got married to Jessica.

And the honorable mention list is lengthy. So the question at hand, "what will 2010 be like?"

In conclusion to 2009 I remember looking back and thinking every year at new years, "when is it going to get better?" From 2004-2007 those years sucked. Personally sucked. I had good friends and family, but I sucked so bad. My character was way outta wack. But this year I seem to see with better clarity. I know God has a plan for me and I trust him with it. I am beginning to see some of the plans God has for me and who he is guiding me to be. I so want my life to be in the will of God. Not acting on my own, but for God. I am hoping through the next couple years I will be able to grow in that mission.

So what does 2010 hold for me? I pray for growth. Even more growth than in 2009. I hope to become more of a man. More of an example and friend. And hopefully I will be an encouragment to others to live their lives fully through the Lord.

I hope everyone had a great new years and I tell you the same quote I told myself for several years, "you have to go down before you can go up."
