How Will You End 2013?

And just like that the year is over. Did you catch it? Did you make it worth while?

This year brought a lot of growth. Not only with our little one blossoming before our eyes, but also in terms of spiritually, financially, and relationally.

We all know that New Year's Resolutions never last. And we know why. When life gets tough or busy, we give up. It's so discouraging. It's in those moments of perseverance when we grow. In workouts, it's when you push a little harder. In life, its when you reach a little higher. Sometimes we need accountability. 

Okay, we always need accountability. We are human. We will fail, but it is in those moments of "failure," that we make it a hurdle that we CAN get over.

What trials did you face this year? What issues are making their way to the surface and can no longer be ignored?

It's time!

This is the moment that you are to shine! To be bold and confident. 

It really isn't about how you finish this year out as much as you decide to start next year. What is holding you back? Your fears are waiting to be met.

Define this year as one that will be memorable and life altering.

Life: New Year Wishes

I sit here thinking about all the wonderful things that I have been blessed with.

I have been blessed with a wonderful pregnancy.

I have been given a wonderful job.

I have been blessed with an amazing, hardworking, supportive husband (he's pretty cute too).

I have been blessed with the energy and body to support my addictive running habits.

I have been blessed with sweet friends.

I have been blessed with wonderful family.

I have been blessed with many, many gadgets and toys to play with.


But sometimes, amongst all those blessings, my heart still aches.

I wish for a family group. (We belong, if I can say that, to a church that is growing and we have felt swallowed and unfulfilled. Of course, I know that seeking out a community group is our role, but unfortunately, maybe due to my hardened heart or aching wounds, I refuse to join a small group. I feel that they are usually impersonal, I can never relate with anyone, people are guarded and become judgmental toward me as I open my heart.)

I wish to read my Bible more (I know, my problem. Today for the first time in quite a while I craved God's word. I think I will open to Romans or maybe a good Old Testament story.)

I wish I was more clean and organized (these past couple of weeks I've been pretty good, but I really think that is because I'm not working and off for break. I really want to have a clean home and its something that has always been hard for me to keep up on. It frequently makes me feel less of a woman).

I wish for Tucker to find a good home (We recently put up posters for Tucker to find a new home. We are hoping to release him from our home soon. It will just be too much with two dogs and a new baby.)


I'm sure I have more, but I hope this inspires someone to be grateful for what they have. So quickly do I complain and whine about my misfortunes, when realistically I am rich beyond measure.
