It's the beginning of a New Year...a time to let go of the happenings of 2006 and a time to move forward. There is no official list of resoloutions this year, but there are things I would like to accomplish. I would like to lose the 20 extra pounds and exercise more. I want to grow closer to God. I want to forgive more instead of harboring bitterness in my heart. I want to learn to let go of things instead of dwelling on them. I want to make time for myself and the things I enjoy instead of always putting myself last. I want to laugh more and complain less. I want 2007 to be MY year.

Happy New Year
Say Goodbye

Say goodbye to sorrows,
When disappointments come your way,
Say goodbye to envy
Speak blessings every day.

Say goodbye to worry,
Our Father knows your cares.
He said take them to the cross
Leave them for Him to bear.

Say goodbye to sinful doubt,
Lift up your head and pray.
God sees the tears and knows your voice,
The answer's on the way.

Say goodbye to stress and strife,
Let joy now feel your heart.
There's peace to dwell within you,
And love, God will impart.

Say godbye, and don't look back,
A New Year's on the way.
With it brings new hopes and dreams,
Old things have passed away.
