Jump Start

2011 is all wrapped up and is now the past. 2012 is unfolding very quickly and I am proclaiming it to be an exciting and adventurous new year with lots of learning, adapting and growing!

So many new things that are already planned for 2012 and I'm sure plenty that is unplanned (the hard part for me). I am extremely pregnant....which means I am feeling huge and Baby Saylor is quite busy doing who knows what inside my body. Lola is extremely excited to be a BIG sister, which also means she now realizes that she is moving up the family ladder (simply put she is rather bossy and is sure to be a big "help" once Saylor makes her debut). We've set our goals, gone over our budget, created a plan for the year (well, so we think as we have no idea how to plan for a family of four...LOL) and will be starting our 21 day fast (spiritual goal setting). Don't worry I do realize that food is extremely necessary and I won't be cutting it out, so my fasting is more of a focus on spending an hour with God daily for 21 days, something I know will be hard with a 3 yr old, but I am determined to start this year out different. And, frankly God has been nudging me to do some things better and this is one of them, so I am going to hit it hard and try and get a habit formed before my newest little sidekick comes on the scene.

So, I'm as ready as ready can be for the year to begin rolling. Here are a few scriptures that I am focusing on daily to increase my faith, love unconditionally, trust fully and worry less.

Jeremiah 29:11, John 14:14, Matthew 6:25-34 and Mark 11:22-25

Hopefully, this is going to be a part of my routine as well. Blogging from my heart - I honestly think about it alot, but get a little nervous about exposing my heart, thoughts and feelings. So, I am going to try and get passed that fear and go for it :)
