Happy 2015!

Well another year has quickly passed us by and a new one has just begun. Every year I tell myself that I am going to change something. I make some sort of resolution that seems achievable but life laughs at me and those resolutions are never... well...completed. I always tell myself that I am going to save a certain amount of money or read the Bible in a year or even blog every day. Well wouldn't you know things came up that needed paying for, I'm so exhausted by the end of the day that I didn't read my Bible as much as I should of, and as you can tell by the number of posts I have on my blog... I didn't blog every day. I'm lucky if I have time to post one blog a month!

How many times have we heard the sentence "This year will be different! This year is a new beginning. A year of change!"  Yeah I have heard this so many times. Sadly I have said this... soooo....many....times. It gets old quick. I have even changed the word resolution to plan. I used to say "I'm not making a resolution, I'm making a plan!" Ha! So much for my plans! Well this year I have decided to make some resolutions. Yes, yes I know what I just said. This years resolutions, however, are much more attainable.

In 2015 I resolve to do the following:

1) Study Gods Word more- Not reading the Bible in its entirety but actually learning how to study the scriptures to understand them better and learn more than the stories that are on the surface

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

2) Put away some money (no set figure because lets face it, something will always come up)

3) Continue to be an awesome mom! I may not have it all together but my kid is alive, healthy and happy. I do my best to teach her right from wrong, her colors, shapes, sounds, and animals and I try to make her laugh as often as I can without spoiling her... too much.

4) Continue making new friends and trying to be a great friend in the process.

5) Continue loving my family and letting them know often how much they mean to me. Life is short. Don't let it slip by without your loved ones ever knowing you loved them.

6) Continue to be happy with whatever God's Will is for my family. I may not always like it but I know that whatever God has planned for us it is perfect.

I hope your New Years Resolutions are as attainable as I think mine are. Hopefully I don't break any of them! I pray that in 2015 you find happiness, good health and Christ in all you do. Here's to a great New Year!
