on a ladder from there to here

A new year is here. It is so hard to believe that in 2011 my baby sister will be graduating high school! I am really excited about the year to come. I feel like there is so much in store for this next year and I cannot wait to see what new adventures and joys the Lord has in store!
My new year's resolutions are as follows-

-work on my bucket list

-lose weight (I know, I know.. typical ny's resolution)

-stick to my new Mediterranean diet so I can lower my cholesterol

-run a 5K

I am currently working on raising money for a mission trip that I will *hopefully* be going on in May to Middlesboro, England. We will be working with the organization Youth for Christ. Basically we will get to just love on, play with and minister to kids in the area. How great is that? I really feel like this is something the Lord is calling me to and I know that if he truly wants me to do this then I will get all the money raised in time. But because I am human AND I am Hayley, I'm stressing out big time about it. I know the Lord is testing me and that I will grow in him because of this. He wants to show me that he is bigger than any amount of money or deadline. I just have to remember that he is in control, He will work everything out.

Happy New Year to everyone, it is going to be a good one :)
