New Year’s Resolutions

You are logged in to the blog of Susie Larson, and it is my privilege to be her guest today! My name is Mary Englund Murphy, and I am a speaker and writer with Looking Glass Ministries.

I hope you all had a great day celebrating the birth of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, are you ready for the New Year? Are you already starting to make your resolutions? For years, my resolutions always included something about losing weight. I thought I could do it by sheer determination, but my resolve never lasted till the end of January.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Sweet Friends!
Susie Larson here...

As many of you know, I am taking off a few weeks from posting on my blog.

I've arranged for some great authors to step in on my behalf.

But still, I wanted to take this moment to thank you for your incredible love and support.

Though most of you don't post directly on the blog (I know, it's sort of scary!), I hear from you via email.

I am excited about what God is doing and where He is taking this ministry.

I so appreciate your prayers and insights.

In the coming months we will be working behind the scenes to revamp my website and launch a more interactive blog. I'll continue with this weekly devotional blog because I want you to have a place to come anonymously and get your cup filled, but new and exciting things are on the horizon as well.

Starting with my January Ezine, I will be doing giveaways in each issue.

If you haven't signed up for my Ezine, do so today! Susie's Ezine

Just four times a year you'll receive my Ezine which includes health and balance tips, great book recommendations, a deeper life devotional thought, and a prayer to send you on your way.

Though you may be tempted to be caught up in the hurryings of the season, I pray you'll make and take moments to embrace peace and rest.

Be at peace once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you!

I love and appreciate you all.

My family and I wish you a most blessed and beautiful Christmas holiday.

Peace to you~
