more often, I catch myself wondering: why me?
why have I been blessed with THIS life?
it was NOTHING I have done. NOTHING I deserve.
it's grace,
sheer grace.
this year, my 'resolutions' are no different than they are EVERY. OTHER. YEAR.
so, instead of writing it all down, I'm copying and pasting from January 2011.
Happy New Year Friends.....
be aware of YOUR good, GRACE blessings this year!

once again i will talk about resolutions that i will never keep.
we all do it.
we all have great intentions.
so this year, i've resolved to NOT make any resolutions.
wait, is that a resolution to NOT make a resolution??
since i'm resolving to NOT do something, isn't that the same thing as resolving to do something and then doing something different?
whatever, i'm so confused.
what i'm saying is that EVERY year i make a promise, to myself to DO something.
lose weight.
be more patient.
read more.
read the bible more.
keep my car cleaner. (i've never actually resolved to do that but....IF i were going to resolve to do something, that would probably be on the 'list'.)
blah. blah.
for the list of a million things i have, i'm sure you could add a million more.
instead of resolutions, which sounds so daunting, i'm going to call it 'attempting/striving' to do better.
so, that being said...i'm going to 'attempt' to....
blog more.
exercise more.
be more of a 'yes' mom.
talk less.
listen more.
blog more faithfully.
take more pictures.
send out birthday cards to everyone on my calendar.
and to the IMPORTANT things....
pray more, MUCH more.
listen for God more.
look for Him more.
let others SEE more of Jesus in my life.
dig into the WORD more.
what are some things you're 'attempting' to change in your life this year?
