Belated Resolutions

On New Year's Eve, I was trying my best to take care of a very sick little girl, and we have all gotten the nasty cold/cough/sinus infection virus for at least one round since then.  So, needless to say, we have spent a good bit of the past week indoors, and I have had some time to reflect on 2010, pray, and anticipate the good things to come in 2011! 

I have made a couple of the typical resolutions for 2011....
1. Work out at least 3 times a week (when I am cured of this nasty cold, of course).
2. Cook more healthy meals for my family.
3. Be more deliberate on sticking to our financial budget.

But, even more than that, I have prayed for a deeper love of God!  I have prayed for a desire to read and know His word more!  I have prayed for opportunities to live out the gospel by being obedient to the Spirit's calling in my life.  And, I have prayed for Him to make me a better wife and mom, with more patience, and more opportunities to show Christ to my family (especially in the everyday little moments)! 

I know these are big requests, but I am so excited to see what our big God has in store for this next year!  Let's all pray that this year is filled with believers showing Christ's love to our World! 
Happy 2011 Everyone!
