A fresh start

For many people the new year means a chance for a fresh start; an opportunity to achieve the hot bod you always wanted, a time to finally quit old habits, a reason to get your life back on track...and all of these things are wonderful goals that I hope are reached by many. My new year's resolution however, is a little different. Now I know it is already the 10th of January, and no, I am not already late on a resolution I decided upon at midnight on New Years; this is a goal that I set for myself tonight. I want to do just as my blog title calls for...live in faith. My hopes are that this goal goes past 2011 and continues for the rest of my life. My hope is that I inspire others...not through this blog, but through my words and actions on a daily basis. This blog is going to be my daily/weekly (lets be honest..I'm sure some days I will forget) outlet to share the ways that I am living my life in faith and seeing the benefits of this big goal I have set in place. Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase, and that is exactly what I am about to do -- take a leap of faith in my life in the direction of ultimate happiness, which I believe comes with complete belief in God's plan for us. I am letting go and letting God take my life in His hands. This is organized, controlling Emily allowing God to take me on a journey where I am in the passenger seat and not behind the wheel for once. I find myself so focused on being in control of my own destiny...but through various experiences I have had, I have come to realize that life doesn't always go how I plan. So that's that. Here is the official kick off of MY new year. January 10th at 1:30 in the morning...lets do this!
