A Happy New Year?

Today is January 1, 2010. I am left wondering today what this year will hold for my family... Though I am a strong believer, and my hope is in God, I am also human, and that human side of me is scared, worried, devastated. God has given me so much, so why would I expect anything more in this life? WHY? Because God promises us, that he listens...He has our best interest at heart....there is only one problem....free will....God gives us this free will to make the decisions for our lives. Oh, He is still there to help us along the way, but in our decisions we make, are we looking to Him for that Help? In the struggles I am facing right this minute, I want to strive to focus on what God has for me....He truly has blessed me with four beautiful children...and for that I am so very happy...He has also given me so many supportive friends and family members...and for that I am also very happy... So, I ask again...a Happy New Year? I think that yes, it can be, if I choose to focus on the right things, or better yet the right GOD.
