10 is in!!!!!


Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful CHRISTmas season. I know I did and am a little sad it's all over now. Today is the first Monday of the New Year and I've been sitting here trying to get my thoughts together enough to figure out what I need to do this morning. It's a little weird today because for the past 3 years I've gotten up to take Gracie to school for her morning class but beginning today she starts the afternoon class. So, I'm a little off my game.
Since it is the New Year and it's customary to make New Years resolutions I thought I'd publicly share some of my goals for the year and maybe whoever (if anyone) reads this can hold me to them throught the year.
1. My first goal for the year is to do more for the Lord. I know people say stuff like that all the time but I'm very sincere about this. For the past couple of years, sadly, I've lived my life to please either myself or others and not really put my Lord first. Well, I'm tired of living my life like that. God has done so much for me I owe Him nothing less than to give Him my all. I'm looking forward to seeing what He has for me to do.
2. Second, my goal is to do more for my church. My church needs me and I realize that more than ever now. People look for a church based on what it can do for them or for a church that has people their age, or for a church that has a lot of "fun" activities - a church that makes them feel good. It's all about them..... but what do they bring to the table? God has burdened me for my church and I know He wants me to get off my rear and do more for my church. I love my church so much. I plan to support it in as much as I possibly can and I hope others join me in this. Our pastors and staff work their tails off and it is time we show our support in a major way and allow God to Bless us.
3. I plan to socialize more this year. I've been so bad about staying home in my little comfort zone and not doing things with my friends. But no more! I want to spend more time with my church friends, have girls nights, game nights with my family out in the sticks and play dates for the kids. Friends are so important to our lives and I want to savor it!
I'm so excited for the new year and what it will bring. So hears to 2010....may it be the best yet! Happy New Year!!!!
