Happy 2005!
Ok, it's now 2005. I resolve to try really hard to keep up with my blog. I have been very very delinquent the past month. So much is going on, it's really hard to keep up. But it's a new year, with new opportunitues and a completely blank slate. I'm going to give it a shot.
Today, I am in North Carolina, celebrating the New Year with my boyfriend, Robin. Robin is one of the many many blessing God has bestowed upon me this year. With everything going on in the world today, I have really begun to notice just how blessed I am. I am so thankful for that. Life's little problems just aren't worth getting upset over, when there is so much tragedy in the rest of the world.
I recently took an on-line test that characterized my strengths by category, out of a choice of 34 different categories. By taking a series of 180 questions, it determined my 'strength' categories. Here's what it came up with for me... 'Adaptability,' 'Developer,' 'Belief,' Responsibility,' and 'Relator.' Each category had a little description... see if you think it's me... Adaptability means I like to take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time... Developer means I see and cultivate the potential in others, and derive satisfaction from spotting signs of small imporovements... Belief says that I have core values that are unchanging and define a purpose for my life... Responsibility says that I take psychological ownership of what I say I will do, and am committed to honesty and loyalty, and Relator says that I enjoy close relationships with others, and find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. Overall, I think it's pretty accurate. It was interesting to do and see the results.
Last night, New Year's Eve, was a super fun evening here in North Carolina. We went to a nice little party with Robin's Care Group from church. We ate super good food, played some fun party games and rang in the New Year. There were three couples, two kids, and one person whose husband and son were sick so they had to stay home. It was a fun little party, an event that I haven't been able to enjoy on New Year's for some time, but I had a really really fun time.
So, the New Year is upon me. 2005. This would be the year of my 15 year High School Reunion, if I did such things. My 11 year College Reunion, if they had such things, and 13 years at my current job. I have a feeling that 2005 is going to be bringing a lot of changes in my life, new and exciting ones, but I am totally trusting God to lead me where He will. Thank goodness it's out of my hands and He is in control.
So, I pray humongous blessings on all of my friends and family this year. I pray everyone loves each other whole-heartedly and takes care of each other. Happy 2005!

YAY, a new blog from Karen. I missed you at our little get together, but was glad you were where you were. : )
I almost bought a book at Barnes and Noble of differeent personality tests. They are so intriguing. Yours does sound pretty accurate to me. I'd like to try that one sometime.
I look forward to seeing you (and your blog) this week. One more time...Happy New Year
