HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME!!!

That's right, today is the start of my New Year! My motto is: I AM DIFFERENT! I stand out from the rest and yea, I can celebrate New Year's like everyone else on January 1st, but don't like to bring in a New Year with the old. On January 1st I am still the age I was the year before, so my New Year starting on February 21st at 808A is my NEW everything.

On August 5, 1995 I almost lost my life, I was only 9yrs old. I was hit by a car and the doctors told my family that I was not going to make it. Imagine that, the legacy of Lydia would have ended so young. By God's miracles and healing hands I was given another chance at life. I thank God every day for blessing me with another day on Earth, for God doesn't owe me anything, He could of called me home back in 95' instead He knew that I had some unfinished business and made me stronger. Over the years I have had so many challenges in life that I just wanted to throw my hands up and just give up. Every time I felt defeated, God showed me that I am stronger than I thought I was. When the road was rocky and I found myself at a dead end, I put my faith in Him and He showed me the way. Over the years my relationship with Him has gotten stronger than it ever has. See in the past I blamed Him for all that ever went bad in my life that I failed to realize that He was trying to show me that life isn't always going to go as planned. Because of my past, I am the person I am today. The loud in your face, I love you and everyone, loving, caring, I put others first kind of person.

Which brings me to my 25th year project! (((Wait for it.............)))

-I am going to be doing a 365 day project on Facebook and on my laptop of my daily life. I still haven't decided on the perfect title for this album, but once I have it, I will be announcing it.

-I am starting a journal that I will write in everyday with letters to my Savior Jesus Cristo.

-I will be doing more reflections on my Footprints blog.

-Rather than having New Year's Resolutions, I am setting goals for myself that I will post at a later date.

So welcome to the 25yrs old me!!! Sit back and enjoy the ride!!!

Last post..........

As a 24yrs old, tomorrow is my New Year. I am so excited. I have so many things planned for my New Year and I will be sharing them on or after my birthday. As for now, the rosary today was AMAZING!!! Okay thats enough for now, time to clean.

God always has a plan......

It has been a little while since I have done a great reflection, and I have been putting it off for some time. There have been times that I knew exactly what I wanted to write, and other times that I didn't think it was worth jotting down. I think it is mainly because I haven't had the time to. I am not going to let that hold me back anymore.

So the a few weeks ago on January 12th, 2011, I was on a search for the perfect bible verse, one that would describe me! One that screamed out to me, and one that I can scream out when times get tough that I feel like things aren't going the way I want. That is when I found this one:

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

It was as if Jesus can right next to me and read this to me. It took me years to find the perfect bible verse, and now that I have found it I will always keep it close to my heart. I know that in God's time He will bless us, I sometimes wish I was now. Maybe our lessons aren't done yet? Maybe we are NEXT? Maybe He is taking time to pick the perfect baby for us? What ever the case may be, we are waiting with open arms.

I am proud of myself, because if I were still the old me, I would have grown into a dark and empty depression, instead I have to turned to my Savior and but all my faith and prayers in Him. I believe in my heart that I have matured so much with my patience, faith, and understanding. It is not the question of, IF we will get pregnant? BUT rather, when we get pregnant!
