Wondering what God has planned for 2011

2009 wasn't really the best year of my life.  My church fell apart.  It left many of us heart-broken and feeling abandoned.  But there are no orphans of God, and that is what I held on to.  2010 was a year of mostly searching and waiting.  Halfway through I found a wonderful church home at The Vine Community Church.  The year ended with the tragic loss of a friend, Jacob.  Jacob was similar to David, in that I believe he was a man after God's own heart.  He loved  people in a way I have never seen before.  You didn't have to know Jacob well to love him.  There was just something about him.  I miss him very much.  2011.  I NEVER make a new years' resolution.  I think they are ridiculous.  But the time of Jacob's death just happened to be just before the new year.  This year I want to love the way Jacob loved.  The way God loves.  I think I have been more aware the past few weeks of how I react to things and I have been praying for God to soften my heart and let be more compassionate.  I believe this year God has a plan to use me.  I don't know exactly how, but I'm readying myself.  I think He also is preparing to do something great in our community.  I'm praying for a BIG move of God.  I believe he wants to just blow through and shake things up!  I want to be shaken by the move of the Holy Spirit and be forever changed.  I can't wait!
