I love a new year. There are so many possibilities awaiting us, blessings to enjoy, time to spend and lists to be made.
Right now I have so many ideas trying to burst out of my head about what to do, see, and accomplish this year, I don't even know where to start. I figured my blog would be a good place. This blog has become like an accountability partner. I'm putting my ideas and thoughts out there to be seen, instead of hiding them and forgetting about my dreams and aspirations.
I don't think resolutions are the right way to go about things. I need a list of ideas and then try and see how many I can accomplish. Last year, Tyrone and I made a list of 50 things to try and do in 2011. Somethings we could do more than once others were one time things. The list included easy things like: Hang up Towel Rack, Go to the Park, and Eat Thai Food. There were some dream items like: Go to Mt Rainier, Go to Mt St Helens, and Go Camping. There were mundane things like: Talk Walks, Change the Batteries in the Smoke detector, and Clean House. We put the list on the fridge and started checking things off or putting hash marks next things we'd do more than once.
Tonight we'll make a new list and post it on the fridge and start planning and checking things off.
This year however, I have my own personal list of things I want to accomplish and not forget about.
1. Continue to spend more time in prayer
2. Love Tyrone more
3. Love Samuel and Charlotte more
4. Sew more
5. Cook more often
6. Drink more smoothies
7. Start an Etsy store
8. Figure out what I'll sell in my Etsy store
9. Start a new blog about my new project
10. Dream Bigger
I really like my life and like my mom says, I want it to Flourish. I want to do more of the same but bigger and better with results beyond what I could fathom. I know that God is still working on me and that He knows the awesome potential I have and is going to help me use that potential in ways I could never imagine.
God has already shown me over the years how He has prepared me for the next step, He just doesn't tell me what the next step is. So I'm ready and stepping forward into His purpose to Flourish and see what amazing things He has planned for me and my family.
Last year ended with some amazing blessings that will help our family flourish in the new year. On Friday, I got what I thought was the next bill for my payment plan on my c-section surgery and it turned out to be the last bill. Over $700 was waived and now that payment burden is gone! On my birthday, my Mom, gave me an amazing blender, a tool to help me and my family to be more healthy. On 9/10/11, Charlotte was born, she is an amazing blessing. In April, we got rid of our two cars that were becoming a financial burden and got a new car at a great deal.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15b
The section around this verse is my theme this year. I don't know where God is leading us but I want to follow and serve Him. His blessings to date have been pretty awesome and I can't wait to see what He has in store for my family in 2012
Happy New Year!
