It is 10 am Jan 1st and I just pulled myself out of bed. How wonderful to be able to sleep as long as I want and not feel guilty about wasting the day! I dropped the kids off at Grandma's yesterday and Adam and I went out to a friend's house for a party last night. I have to admit that I had one of the best times I have had in years and I didn't even have to drink! I knew only half the people there but all of our personalities seemed to mesh so well. Who knew I could laugh until I cried playing a very loud game of Uchre??? Of course who knew I could play so badly?
My favorite moment of the night was when we were approached by a new friend just before leaving. He said (in his own way) That he was glad that Adam and I could be Christians and yet still so interesting. There were over 24 people there last night. Some christian and some not.....some drinking and some not, and we all had a pretty darn good time ( I'm pretty sure). I think what was accomplished was some people were able to realize that christians are just like everybody else.....Just as weird and messed up as the rest of the world. Maybe even more so :) That is why we need God to keep us on the straight and narrow :)
Who knew that witnessing could be so much fun.
So do I have any resolutions for this year? Hmmm let me think.
I resolve to be a little bolder in my faith by glorifying Him more openely,
I resolve to focus on what the Lord wants from me a little more. I need to accept whatever path comes our way this year as it could be filled with so many changes. There will be some things that happen that will be out of our control (like whether or not Adam gets hired and where he is posted.) I need to be o.k with not moving to the farm if that is not where we need to be and I need to be o.k with Adam leaving for training for 3 months in May if that is what needs to be done to achieve our goals.
Most of all...I resolve to have more people in our home for dinner :)
2007 Should be an interesting year. Could be full of so many big changes....new baby, new job, and new home. I look forward to all the changes and feel prepared to handle them. We have a wonderful support network of friends, family, neighbors and acquaintances. Our family is so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by people who care to see us succeed and I pray that we show enough gratitude to all of you and that you know how much your love and support is appreciated.
Cheers,
Alyson
