Confetti! Streamers! Whistles!

Happy New Year!
2011 has officially begun! 2010 was full of adventures, family, friends, and growth. 2011 promises to hold a host of new adventures itself! What do you hope to see, learn, or do in the coming year? I'm looking forward to seeing what exciting new experiences the new year holds!
New Years is a perfect time to "place memorial stones", like the Israelites placed when they crossed the Jordan. What are some experiences that have changed you over the past year and what "stones" have you put in place to remind you of God's faithfulness in those places? You may be hearing some of mine in the next couple weeks.

Blog Re-Launch!
How do you like the new look? Due to a) a request or two that I keep the name and b) the fact that I couldn't think of a new one, this blog is still TransformMe... for now. :) However, I did launch the new look, and I don't know about you, but I like it. Yes, that is actually me walking down the road. (Photo credit: Mr. Bennett)
The Re-Launch will manifest itself in a few ways. A couple things to expect:
There will still be random posts about what I'm thinking.
There will be, as I mentioned in an earlier post, significantly more updates about where I am and what I'm doing. I will be traveling a lot for TeenPact and NCFCA tournaments, and I'm super excited! So in between the devotionals and random thoughts, you'll get to [have to?] hear about where I am.
I'm starting a new personal Bible study on the concept of Christian's being pilgrims and strangers on the earth. I thought it was appropriate, considering I'll be living out of a suitcase off and on for the next five to six months. You'll probably hear my thoughts on that too. So... I guess you could consider that a new series.
There will be some weeks [or couple of weeks] where there won't be any posts. ::gasp:: Yes, I know, it's terrible for a blogger to neglect her blog like that, but it really can't be helped. So, enjoy your breaks from my randomness.

And one last announcement...

This is TransformMe's Hundredth Post!!!
Thank you faithful readers.

So... all that to say...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Throw confetti! Bang pots! Light fireworks!

oh man... I didn't use my silly string....

Oh well. :)

Keep following Christ with everything you are! He'll lead you awesome places.

Safe in His arms,
