The New Year

Happy New Year! Like everyone, I have reflected on the past year and I am just amazed how fast it went by. A New Year's resolution? I have heard many people say what is the use-you will just break it anyway. But as I ponder this, I believe it is good to have goals to reach and some kind of change in life for the better. Even though I always fall short of my resolutions, I am ususally never disappointed in myself because I did not make it. Maybe I should just try harder. I have realized in the last few months, I need a goal to work toward or I just don't do anything. I am looking at this year and can imagine so many changes our family will endure. I am confident that the changes will be for the good but I don't adapt to changes very easily sometimes. I pray that God is directing our path and we stay the course.

My 10 things to improve this year:

  1. Spending more time in the Word and prayer.
  2. Spending more time with Russ.
  3. Spending more quality with my kids.
  4. Keeping a neater home.
  5. Teaching the family to do their share around the house.
  6. Learn to love laundry..haha
  7. Becoming more organized.
  8. Finding more joy in a day.
  9. Being a better friend.
  10. Keeping the car clean for Russ. :)

I am sure there are many more thing I could list but this is what came to mind today. Life is going by too fast and I don't want to miss a minute of it. God bless!
