2010 has concluded and now it is 2011. I've never been one for new year's resolutions because you can always change yourself at any time. I love how people say "It is going to my year!" I laugh at that. I am not going to say it is my year, but to whatever the challenges that lay ahead, I say, "Bring it on!" Yes I just used the cheerleading movie title, JUDGE ME! So much has happened over the past year. One chapter of my life has concluded and a new chapter has begun. I thought I had control over my life, but over the past couple weeks and months I have realized I have NO control over life. Everything cannot happen the way I want it. It is on HIS time table not mine. I make decisions but ultimately it comes down to His will and not mine. I can want a job right away but if it is not in the cards so be it.
I am a huge fan of the random quote so here is a compilation of quotes from the past year. Most of these are from famous sports figures. Some of these are pretty profound but some of them just make me laugh. If any of you have some great quotes, please give them to me. I have a book of quotes that I am putting together for when I become a professional teacher and when I coach.
