Who: Everyone is invited
What: I would like you to post on your site about your hopes, dreams, goals, for the next year. What would you like to see God do in your life? How would you like to see Him move in things? Make this as general or as personal as you feel comfortable. What are your goals for next year? I am not looking for the “lose 10 lbs this year” answer, something a little bit deeper. When you look back December 2007 where would you like to be?
Many of us look forward to new changes in the new year, some of us dread the changes. As a side note, this blog is going to go through some changes. Soon you will be arriving to a NEW IMPROVED look, but don’t worry it will be the same ‘ol me. Changes are sometimes good, sometimes dreaded, and sometimes dreamed. What is your change or dream for this next year?
When: Come back the first week of January 2007 (January 1 through 5th).
Where: I will put up a Mr. Linky beginning January 1st through 5th 2007, so you can link back to your blog post. I am not really one to make “New Year Resolutions” (infact I dislike them), if I make them I break them. But I am one to think about what my dreams and desires are at the time, and see where the Lord leads me. Sometimes it is exciting because the Lord has so much more in mind, sometimes it proves to be a difficult year because He had a lot to teach me. Either way it is exciting to follow God’s leading and plan for my life. How about you?
Feel fee to grab the graphic and include it on your blog.I’m looking forward to seeing who will take me up on this challenge! IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE THE PICUTURE I CAN GIVE YOU THE HTML CODE. JUST EMAIL ME AT lrlwreath at gmail dot com. Thank you Nic at As My World Turns
As an extra incentive, anyone who participates and advertises this on their blog. I will be sending one lucky participant a $10 gift certificate to Amazon.com. I’ll do a random drawing from the names of everyone who posts. Make sure you leave me your link on Mr. Linky January 1st through 5th (and post your response to the topic above), these are the people who will be entered into the drawing. I reserve the right to delete any links not pertaining to the New Year’s Meditations.
The winner will be announced and sent the certificate Januray 6th, 2007.

I am really looking forward to this and will certainly get right on it as soon as Christmas is over. Go Laurel! This is an awesome idea.
I copied and pasted this to my recipe file
sounds like a fun one to do with grandkids… or just let them do it and supervise
This sets much better with me than resolutions. Goals for the year, things we’d like to do differently, changes we’d like to make for ourselves.
I hope you get a good response!
I gave up making resolutions years ago, but this sounds like a wonderful idea. I’m going to think, think , think (as Pooh would say) and pray and see what God would like to see happen in my life over the next year.
Thanks so much Laurel.
What a tempting offer… and a great idea. I’ll have to give this some serious thought!
BTW, congratulations on your two CWO nominations. Wow! :~)
this is gonna be awesome!
GREAT idea!!!!
I can NOT wait to read everyones post!!!!
It’s not easy to time resolutions for the new year’s for me, but I look forward to seeing what I and others come up with!
Not sure what I will come up with, but I am in…
I will post something about it this week…
It’s been years since I actually made resolutions for the new year. I stopped because I always disappointed myself when I failed to keep them.
This gives me a lot to think about. I’ll be here - and between now and then I’ll be thinking hard.
Yay! Looks like fun!
I can’t wait to participate in this one. Give me a minute and I an turn it into a link for you. I’ll leave it in the comments.
Well, it won’t let me post the whole HTML in the comments. I created two different links for this. Please shoot me an email at nboedeke@gmail.com so that I can email them to you. I hope it’s what you’re looking for.
Looking forward to this! Great idea!
I will post about this on Sunday - hope that is okay
I am getting excited about it…
Sounds like a good idea to me! I will be thinking and praying about it! Jen, my sister in law and I sit down over Christmas each year and write out a similar list. We write out prayers and desires for each of our children, ourselves, and our husbands. We share our lists with eachother and then give eachother copies, so that we can be praying for eachother’s families. I love it! She and I are getting together next week, so maybe I can carry my list over to my blog!! Fun!
Great idea, and I am lovin’ your new look!!

Laurel, I see Kim’s photo above me, and I’d like to visit her blog again, but I can’t remember her URL, and I can’t click through. Can you email the link if you know it?
Sounds like a wonderful fun idea and I would definitely love to participate!

This sounds like fun! I look forward to writing my desires for 2007 and reading all of the posts. I’ll advert for you on my blog, too!
I found your link at another blog and think this would be a really awesome thing to do. I will have to think on this one.
Can’t me in. I’ve been thinking about what to write for a week now. Sounds like fun and I can’t wait to read what everyone writes:)
Sorry, that was supposed to be “count me in”. Maybe typing lessons should be one of mine:(
Posted a reminder too today
Oh this sounds exciting. Honestly I can’t wait to see what God has in store for my life next year:-)I am SOOOO ready for 2006 to be over lol
I’ll let people know about this… I think I’ll be able to try myself too!
I like this idea and will be going in! I have a soccer schedule to get completed this weekend & I will ponder my meditations and post next week!
Hi Laurel! I’m adding you to my blogroll tonight…Have a joyous New Year, my friend!
Looking forward to participating and reading all the responses.
Great idea!
Hey sweets, mine are up. I’ll be back tomorrow to add myself to the Mr. Linky. Have a blessed New Year celebration!

Thank you for this thought provoking meditation. It has been a help to me. I’ve included the link to my post above. Is there anything else I should do?
Posted Dec 31st with some of my goals - some of which include my hope for God’s work in my life. If it’s not “focused” enough, feel free to delete my post from “Mr. Linky”.
Thanks so much for sponsoring this! I advertised this morning on my blog and will post mine tomorrow.
