Well, I was going to resolve to lose weight this year...walk more...be healthier. But I resolve that every year and always break it! Maybe if I just say it is one of my GOALS I might do better. Have to wait and see. I am always so half-hearted about things like that. I love to eat and I don't love to exercise. I do love to walk my Daffy Dog but it has been so cold lately....(see what I mean? Excuses, excuses). But there are a few things I am passionate about resolving. Can't do it by myself. Well, can't do anything by myself for that matter. But I am rambling. I need God's help in 2010 to achieve my goals. And here they are:
1. I want to STUDY God's Word and not just read it. Even if it means I don't read through the Bible in a year. I want to take time and really study.
2. I want to HEAR Him when I pray and not just talk.
3. I want to be OBEDIENT when I know He is speaking to me.
4. I want to LOVE Him more.
5. I want to LOVE my neighbor as myself.
6. I want to be a better mamaw, step-mom, MIL, sister, friend, Christian.
7. I want for people to KNOW when they look at me that I have Jesus inside!!!
Please, if you read this, pray for me to reach my goals!
Not these guys....
If you would rather give by check or money order, make it payable to IMB and reference the Haiti Response Fund in the memo section.
...and I say...
We set our goal for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering at $12,200 this year. But somehow on the banner the goal got written as $12,500. Well, apparently, God had His own idea about the goal, because our treasurer has reported that with the cash we have already raised and the pledges made we will meet or exceed the $12,500 mark!! Our God amazes me!! Please continue to pray for all our international (and of course our North American) missionaries...for clean water, good food, a comfortable place to stay, language skills, people of peace, opportunities to share the Gospel, encouragement, joy, peace, provision and protection.
She loves Brother Kenny...
...and she loves me!
