New Years Day 2012

IT's 6 am and I decide to succomb to the nagging inside me to get up and pray, spend time with God, take charge, and...blog...? That's right.

I've spent my last few years in a hurry. Mostly because my wife struggles with being late...and I struggle with showing up to places 30 minutes early because traffic was favorable and I allowed more than ample time for my 10 minute drive:)

So here's to slowing down. Smelling the roses as they say. Taking time to appreciate the moments that make a life. It will be a journey...and I will have to stay focused and not allow myself to rush...and I can handle it.

Just in the past few weeks of "practice" I've had some amazing times. Priceless moments with each of my boys...with my wife...with God. Some amazing prayer. And it all comes down to this...

I can see greatness in five minutes. Taking the time to hug and cuddle before running out the door for work, to pray before a meeting to get my head on straight and put some angels to work.

I'm excited. This is a year of restoration...

God is moving in a big way.

I can feel it.

I expect greatness in 2012.
