New Year

It is that lovely time of year where we all make resolutions and pretty much don't keep them.  I know I don't keep most of mine.  I do like the time though.  It gives us time to do some self reflecting and see where we are and where we want to go.

I want to lose 10 more pounds.  I started my journey at 160.  I have lost 15.  10 more will make me super happy and I feel like I will be MUCH healthier.  The confidence I have gained since I lost the weight has shocked me.  I can only imagine what 10 more will do.  I say I am chopping my hair off SUPER short(MaryKatherine Freeman style, for those of you who know her) if I get to 135.  I also say I am doing Boudoir pics if I get that little.  HA!  That is prolly too much info for my blog, but who cares at this point.

Continue running.  I started this last year and I want to continue it.  I have come to enjoy it, and that is a shock within itself.  I hate the cold and the getting dark so quick because I cannot run when it is cold and if it is dark when I get home from work, I can't run then either.  Anyways...I will continue running.  I actually went today and my legs already hate me for it :)

Read the Bible through again.  I did this last year.  For the first time in my life.  How sad.  I  plan on doing it again this year.  I cannot wait to see what cool things God has to show me this year.  My walk with Him was probably the strongest it has ever been this year.  That has me excited and wanting to strive for more.

Guard my tongue.  I am an epic failure at this.  I spout off whatever, whenever.  I know I am a great tool for Satan because of this.  I am very determined to use my mouth for good and not evil.  I will need help.  From the Good Lord above and from friends and family.  Please help me with this.



This past year I saw God answer numerous prayers in my life and the life of others around me.  I got a job doing what I was called to do, people were healed, people were saved, relationships grew, people got engaged and married and had babies....SO SO many things.  God is ever present in my life and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for my journey, my marriage, my job, my family, and my friends.  I am extremely blessed and try to live every day knowing that God gave it to me with a purpose.  I hope you do the same.  Have you examined where you are and where you want to go?  Think it over.
