Resolutions

I have never officially made resolutions before.  I think it is because I ultimately know I wouldn't keep them or I thought pretty highly of myself.... ;)  But I am putting it out there and will refer back to this over the next year. 

So here is my list of New Year's resolutions:

1. Get my quiet time back.  I used to get up in the morning to read my bible.... EARLY because my kids are such early risers. I lost that time with a baby who didn't sleep well and a toddler who thinks 6am is a great time to start every. day.  With both sleeping better, I have recently replaced that time with my morning workouts.  It is the only time of day that I can get a good uninterrupted workout in.  But I have failed to get my quiet time in else where.... I really miss talking to God every day and reading my bible.  I really fall apart when I neglect this area.

2. Start and finish a Whole30.  To learn to have a healthy relationship with food.  One where it fuels my body, makes me feel great, not deprived and where I can learn to enjoy treats on occasion as that- treats, and learn which foods make me feel like crap, I am starting to realize many do!  

3. Continue making my body stronger.  I have worked so hard this past year and I want to keep going with this.  



4.  Spend less time on Facebook.  It can be days before I have a meaningful face to face talk with another adult (excluding my husband) so Facebook has become my main social outlet.... sad I know but true. This will help with #1, and 6 and really everything!

5. Respect my husband.  Always.  He is an amazing husband and father and works so hard for us.... Respect is huge for men and I want him to know how much he means to me.  This is a big one for me. 

6.  Be more intentional with my kids.  I spend all day, everyday with them.  But am I really pouring into them, earning their hearts, teaching them about Jesus, showing them His love?  I really can grow in this area.  Mostly this mean getting on the floor more with them to play :) 


7.  Be a humble servant to the women in my small group.  I feel veryinadequate to lead a group, especially to these amazing women.  But God leading, our group is growing and we have an awesome study lined up. 

8. Prayerfully wait on the decision to return to work to some capacity.  I miss nursing but love being at home.... I am seeking God's will here and seeing if he opens any doors or if I need to be content and complete staying at home caring for my family. 

9. Blog more, scrap book more, read more..... 

A long list I know..... I am not aiming to be perfect in any of these but just to continue growing and be more intentional about growing.

Hold me accountable!
