2011 ~ Year of Grace

2010 was the best year I've had in a very long time.

I'm expecting 2011 to be even better.

I've started preparing a mental list of goals for the year, and plan to get them on paper (and my blog) soon...(maybe I should list that as one of my goals...). As I think about the changes I want to make this year, one of them involves my blog. This blog has been such a blessing to me: writing and sharing my heart, developing a new community of friends, and reading your responses to my thoughts. I want to be more intentional about writing and sharing. One of the changes I want to make involves a theme that has become predominant in my life:

The one word that has deeply affected my life over the past few years is

grace.  

That also happens to be the focus of my church this year, meaning...

for the entire year, my pastor will focus on grace.

I'm so excited, I thought I'd take it to a personal level.

I plan to look for moments of grace in 2011...grace received and grace extended.

On Fridays, my posts will be about personal moments of grace. From time to time, I will have guest bloggers sharing about their personal moments of grace. And if you have a story of grace, I invite you to send me your story at gilbert.rebekah@gmail.com. With your permission, your story may show up on my blog!

I hope you'll join me in this series, titled Friday's (Unmerited) Favor.

In addition, I'll occasionally be holding contests with grace-like products as prizes! Be sure to check back later this month for the first contest announcement!
