Resolution One-More time and focus on God
The bible says Be still and know that I am God....problem is...I'm not still very often. I need to carve out time, each day, to listen. I pray...quite often...but it's usually the "same ol' same ol' " Thank you for this...I'd like that....I would like to take time to pray specifically for my friends, my family, my children and their future..to help with this I am starting a prayer journal to remind me to pray for specifics...and record praises as I see God's work in our lives. Also to record prayers for my children...their future...their future careers, spouses, etc. I am reading Lisa Welchels book "Facts of Life that my Father taught Me" and she talks often about listening to God, hearing what he has to say and being obedient and how much she is blessed through that...I'm afraid I don't listen well, or I'm so busy I just don't hear....I want to slow down so I don't miss an important conversation.
I have been blessed with a wonderful group of ladies through a bible study done in our church. We finished one study and will soon do another one...but for now are meeting each week for fun and fellowship....I'm so excited to have found them...they help keep me focused and honestly, I am amazed by how this group pulls together when one member stumbles...we are seeing this now and it's pretty darn cool.
I need to make attending church a priority....not an option. I need to feed my spirit as well as my flesh....can't do this if I don't step up to the buffet. I also want my kids to see me walk the walk...not just talk the talk. Luckily, Doug is active and involved and has the same desire as me to attend church, tithe, donate both time and other items needed...many women walk this walk without a partner....we walk it (and sometimes stumble) together.
