I never keep my resolutions. I know most people don't either. I seem to make a list of things to do, work on, adhere to and then forget by....February. So why not keep the tradition going? I'm just going with things that I already have in place or am working on....and I'll focus on continuing to improve on them.
#1 - Becoming more Christ-like. This is a yearly, monthly, daily, hourly process. I must spend more time in the Word, pray without ceasing and utilize the power of the Holy Spirit each minute of every day.
#2 - Be the best wife & mommy I can be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job. I consider education my career. I highly doubt I'll ever not work and stay at home. But, my thought process has definitely changed. I would say pre-baby, I was career-minded. I spent a lot of time focusing on my career. And while that's still important to me - I want to be a great teacher, I am starting my Master's this month - I also think it's time for me to utilize the word "no." I tend to find myself in predicaments where I offer to help someone do something and then end up being in charge of it. So, I will protect my time with Luke and Cooper, all while still focusing on being a better educator....and say "no" to the stuff that doesn't matter quite as much anymore.
#3 - Organize and keep my house under control. We have so much stuff. Add a baby and wow, we have even more stuff. Our house isn't that big. I need to be organized. I need to purge. I need to accumulate less. I must be tough with myself and get rid of things that I don't/can't/won't use. I need to get rid of shoes I don't wear (I would have like 5 pair left, but that's okay). I need to have a garage sale. I need to donate. This could be a long process...
Okay, that's enough for now. I think those are all very attainable things. They aren't a cut and dry goal to hit...but something that is a process. Happy 2014...it's gonna be a good year!
