New Year's Resolve


Crazy Kids

It has been over a month since I posted my last blog.
 
I stink as a blogger.

Well at least this month I did! 

December was a roller coaster ride for me. 
So instead of rehashing all the moody details,
I am just going to celebrate the new year and start over fresh!

Happy 2011!!!

2011 is bursting with potential and I am bursting with expectations!

The Three Words that Pastor Brady gave us for 2011.

I am excited for the changes that are expected in the near future.

1.    I am back to school to finish my degree in elementary education.  This will be an intense ride, but I am excited.  I will be carrying 15 credits per semester.
2.   We are downsizing our house and expenses.  We are buying a smaller home, which in turn will reduce our housing expenses by almost half.
3.   We are still praying for our kids to join our family.
4.   I will be leading a ladies small group.  I have wanted to increase my relationships and circle of influence and it seems to be the right time.

I am, by nature, a planner.  I have great plans, but am praying that God will stretch me and use me as I surrender my plans to make way for His!

The last two years have been difficult, but I have great anticipation of miracles and changes in our family for 2011.
