Resolution 2010

The first entry of 2010!! We started our New Year at home, just us the kids, pets & God! We didn't really have a plan this year which was nice for a change, but our not having a plan brought us an unexpected good time spending it with one another, playing wii & watching movies!.  Not to mention that for the first time in many years we started our year off with prayer. Not toasting champagne or dancing the night away but just expressing our hope for what was to come and giving thanks to our Almighty Savior! It felt so awesome to wake up the next morning feeling as though we had gotten it right. At least for the moment!! Later in the day we were graced with the company of some distant relative who sadly, we don't get to see very often! We again, shared memories, looked at pictures, caught up on life & shared about what God is doing in all of our lives. It was soooo awesome to tell about our experience with "feed my starving children", all of our church Xmas services and what God was calling us to do, this very weekend!! As we got ready for bed, we stopped to look through the pictures of friends, many that rung in the new year at different night venues and we realized that we were RIGHT where WE needed to be... Not for lack of many invitations but nothing else FELT right!!!

One of my favorite songs says:
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home

And we thought, WOW!! How blessed is it to not feel that way!! We ARE HOME, literally & figuratively.. We are so NOT alone, we are SO alive and living life INTENTIONALLY!!! No resolutions we didn't intend to keep, no promises to later be broken or disappointments to regret!... And with every intention it is God & only God that can & will continue to mold, move and use our family in a way that we'd never imagined, & THAT make me happy. My one and only resolution for the year 2010 is to spend more QUIET time alone with the Lord & to pray MORE MORE MORE.. Not just for others but for myself & my family...I'm sure, if love is said to move mountains then the love of Jesus & prayer can move so much more!
