Rise and Shine, it's 2009!

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

To sum up my New Years Resolutions in one word, it would be: Grow
I am so excited about this new year. I feel like God is drawing me closer to Him than I have ever been. I believe He is leading me away from my plans, and towards His. I can't wait to see what is in store for me and my family over these next 365 days. 

My Top 3 Resolutions:
-Train and mentor someone who will be capable of filling my shoes (when needed) for Sunday and Wednesday praise and worship services.
-Spend a minimum of 30 minutes a day reading, journaling, talking to, and listening to God.
-Read at least 1 book (fiction or non-fiction)  a month
And here's a few others:
-For Justin and I to be completely out of stinkin' debt! 
-Work out 2-4 times/week
-Spend a minimum of 20 minutes a day doing preschool lessons with Javen
-Create and sell at least 1 piece of artwork a month
-Take one picture of my life every single day this year to put together in a photo-journal of '09
-Get my 2nd tattoo
-To not sleep past 9:00am, except when absolutely necessary! (I love to sleep!)

There is sooo much more...

What about you???
