New Year's resolutions............

Not real big on New Year's resolutions because I never seem to keep them!!! LOL. For years - I made them and then, like so many of you, they would be over with before the end of the month............so, I try to do now what I call Life Changers......what can I do this year to change my life - to change my way of living, thinking, being..............

Sometimes it's some of the old resolutions - like, diet, read my bible more, pray more.........I really try to make these stick - although - I sometimes fall by the wayside and have to pick my self up again after a couple of weeks of being lazy. How is it that we can find the time to do the things we love - but not the things we should? That should tell us right there that our priorities are sometimes not exactly as they should be.

I'm looking forward to a great year - some big things are changing for us this year and we are anxiously excited (can that be?). One of the big things we are doing is changing churches. We've gone to one place for a very long time - but now that Jake is starting to get to the age of needing a good foundation and a good solid teaching experience - we need to look at somewhere that has more of a kids program for Jake. This was a very hard and difficult decision because I have been so very involved in the place we have been going for the past 10 years. This was definitely not an overnight decision - but something that we have been praying about for about a year now. God is requiring me to step out of my box and put the needs of my family first and foremost......so, with that said - we are checking out other churches over in our area and have pretty much narrowed it down to where we will be going.

Change is sometimes scary - but this move is the right thing to do. Season's come and go - and my season there is over. One of the Pastor's confirmed some stuff to me that she received while she was praying - so I know we are on the right track.......gotta love it when things are confirmed to you!!!!!

I hope that whatever you have planned for this year brings you much joy and happiness. God is good to each one of us that have breath in our bodies - we have so much to be thankful for.

Count it all joy!!!

Love to all
