If you haven't noticed already, I have begun to change the design of EmilythePerson.com.  It is still under construction, and so please bear with me while these changes are taking place.

In the meanwhile, I would like to have your feedback of what you like or dislike about the blog, and what you would prefer for me to change.  You can comment on this post, or email me at emilytheperson@yahoo.com.

Today is the last day of 2009, the end of a decade. 

Throughout the day, I've reflected back on this year and realized that it really has been a good year, all considering.  I went to Africa for the first time.  I grew closer to God.  I learned a little bit more about who I'm supposed to be.

However you're celebrating the end of 2009, I hope you have a blast.  2010 is going to be a new beginning in many ways, and yet it will also be a continuation of what Christ has done in our lives. 

As we start a new decade, a new year, and a new day tomorrow, I hope we remember to shine the Lord's light wherever we go.  Be a beacon of light in a dark world.  Shine for Him. 

Happy New Year.
