What's your New Year Resolution? many people will ask this question at the end of each year.
Many of us will have a list of the things we want to accomplish for the new year to come.
Most of this things that made it to the list will have something to do with our physical appearance or with those healthy habits we want to change.

As the time goes by, we loose track of what was it that we were planning to accomplish, or we get too busy, or we get too distracted by the hustle and bustle of our daily lives.

It is very hard to try to accomplish many things when we are not equip with the right tools to have successful results.
As we plan for the future we should consider God's help, with Him everything is possible, even to lose those few pounds that we don't need to carry around; Yes, God is a loving God who wants us to be happy and have the desires of our hearts.
That is why, when I make a plan I try to include Him; Yes, I want His approval and blessings to everything I do and I plan to do in the future.
With out Him, my plans are too hard to accomplished.

The Bible tells us, not to rely in ourselves, we don't have the power to grant all out desires;
The Bible tells us, to trust in God, that all things are possible with God;
The Bible tells us, that we don't have to stop smoking, exercise and doing diets out our own efforts;
The Bible tells us, as longer we have Faith God can give us the will to keep going and to reach our goals.

This year resolution should be an exited one, the one you are going to let God take control of and to guide you, and give you the tools (which are in the Bible)
Have Faith and you will be surprised to see how much your habits and life style can change.

Have a safe and wonderful New Year 2012 ♥

The Angel Gabriel Visits Mary

Luke 1:26-38
²⁶ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, ²⁷ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸ And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”^[c]
29 But when she saw him,^[d] she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. ³⁰ Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ³¹ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. ³² He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. ³³ And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
³⁴ Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
³⁵ And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. ³⁶ Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. ³⁷ For with God nothing will be impossible.”
³⁸ Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Our Savior has borne
Luke 2:1-20
 ¹ And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. ² This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. ³ So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
⁴ Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, ⁵ to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife,^[a] who was with child. ⁶ So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. ⁷ And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
⁸ Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. ⁹ And behold,^[b] an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. ¹⁰ Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. ¹¹ For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. ¹² And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
¹⁴ “ Glory to God in the highest,
      And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
¹⁵ So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” ¹⁶ And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. ¹⁷ Now when they had seen Him, they made widely^[d] known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. ¹⁸ And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. ¹⁹ But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰ Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

AMEN!!!
