The year of challenges!

I still can't believe it's 2009 already!?!?!? It's only a couple of weeks into the new year and I've already set some challenges for myself. First and foremost is my spiritual walk. I have been challenged to STOMP IT! I have also challenged myself physically. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I'm ready to get a handle on this issue. The only way to do this is not by only counting points (WeightWatchers), exercising, or drinking water. The only way to defeat this.....is by keeping Christ at the center!!! I can't wait to see what path He takes me on this year!!! I want to be sure to live each day like it's my last. I'm tired of being the "feel good" friend. I want to encourage, but I also want to speak the truth. I was challenged with this yesterday. And I was shown that people want to hear the truth and not something to "pump" them up. It's amazing what He allows to flow out of our mouths when we are faithful to Him!

On a side note.......

I celebrated my one year wedding anniversary yesterday......what a glorious occasion! You know....sometimes it only seems like a year and other times I can't remember what my life was like before Jason. I am so thankful for him and Jack. They are a true blessing to me. I know some ladies would argue this.....but I have the bestest husband ever!!! He's the greatest! I sat yesterday at my desk trying to wrap my mind around all the blessings in my life. We serve an awesome and generous God!!
