devoted...

Giving; disposing of property by voluntary transfer without receiving anything in return, to place in the hands of sombody else. 
Devotion; commitment to a purpose, zeal, willingness to serve, feelings of ardent love, selfless affection and dedication to a person or principle.
Gratitude; a feeling of overwhelming thankfulness, appreciation or greatfulness.

In 2011 I want to:
Voluntarily dispose all of my possessions to God, with no intentions of recieving anything in return.
I want to place everything, my emotions, my dreams, ideas, visions, hopes, worries, concerns... EVERYTHING in His hands.
I want to commit myself to Him and the amazing plan he has for me. Commit myself to making His name famous to so many people who are walking in the confusion and darkness of this world.
I want to have an exciting zeal for Him that literally keeps me awake all night!!
I want to feel a willingness and drive like never before towards serving Him and His kingdom, anything, anytime, anywere.
I want to love him unconditionally, with selfless affection.
I want to dedicate all I have.
I want to bask in His presence, amazed at His beauty and overwhelmingly thankful, appreciative and greatful for every little thing he has blessed me with in my life.

In 2011 I'm devoting myself to God.
Commiting myself to dying within myself, so I can only live in Him.
Making a personal promise with my Dad, to surrender all I have, and trust that it's safe and taken care of in His strong, warm, embracing hands.

The last three years of my life have had a 'theme' that I feel God put on my heart.
The first year was 'the year of fresh beginnings':
That was the year I began an intimate friendship with God :) So you can imagine the other 'beginnings' that came with that.
Last year was 'the year of travel':
I had the opportunity to go and mission in Vanuatu, Singapore, Melbourne twice and Perth, finishing the year in Bali.

I'm still figuring out what this years 'theme' means, but I know it will be amazing. I'm a little excited to see where it leads :)

I've already started back to work with One50 Dance and Youth For Christ SA, which has been amazing, as always!! This year is slowly revealing itself and it's going to be IN-SANE!
I have a coffee interview tomorrow with a lady from Families SA about a mentoring job with a young girl. I am seriously so so excited!!
America tour at the end of the year is looking as exciting as ever and Bec and I are working well together to make it a life changing experience! I'm already feeling butterflies about the trip!! :)
I know we will all be grown and stretched to our absolute limits, I know I'll see things that will make me sad, angry, excited, happy, and any other emotion in the book! I know God will do amazing things through and in us!

It's just a beautiful year, already!! :)
