A New Year-Expect God To Surprise You

I can't believe it is already January 4th 9th, 2012.  Two thousand Eleven, it seems, was a year of travel, moves, and visitors.  I never realized our home has a revolving door, or that traveling could be so much fun.

I took 7 trips, including the around-the-world flight.

I had kids move away or move home 7 times.

Not counting the kids and their friends, I had houseguests on 9 separate occasions.  We never had more than 11 here at one time.  Large groups for dinner I lost count a long time ago.

Last year's theme could be summed up as Travel To Gather With Family.

I am looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store.  The theme this year:  Expect God To Surprise You.  I can't wait to see what God has planned.  I'm looking forward to seeing where God takes each of my family members, our growth, stepping out into new territory, going deeper, and living out the Abundant Life.
