2013....a new adventure

What are the dreams that I am expecting for while living this next year 2013 with my beautiful family?

1. Jason and I both successfully added a few more LETTERS to the end of our names....which was something we worked hard for.....and now with those in place we are excited to go forth into the MISSION FIELD that GOD has for us.
- we are praying about a few different ministries:
Africa Inland Missions
Mercy Maternity Center
YWAM- Mission Builders
Pantano Christian Church Outreach Team- Local and Abroad
Gap MInistries
Good 360
TEEN MISSIONS!!!YAY!

2.I struggled with not having Christopher homeschooled or in a Christian school....but now that he is at a  public school.....I need to exhort him, encourage him and stand behind him in praying realizing that is his mission field and everyday ask him.....Christopher what will you do at school for JESUS today????


3. EMPLOYMENT!!!!WE want the way in which we make money to glorify God. We definitely accepted positions at first because we had to...we had to feed out kids and get a house to raise our kids....but now our time at work has to be spent doing what God wants us to do....and I have seen that unfolding in the past few weeks and months...

4. Generosity and Finances! We want our monies to be  focused on the right things. We need to be responsible and intentional with everything that God gives us.
God lets us keep 90 percent of all that we earn...he only asks for 10 percent. CRAZY. Lets use that 90 percent to honor God and the 10 percent to TRUST in his plans.
AMEN.

So I dont really have any resolutions.

I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary with my beloved rose this year (inside joke) He is adorable. He puts up with a lot from me....hes a great dad.....I love this life we have together...and I think 2013 is going to be great....2012 we really worked out some things and turned that corner into a more mature agape relationship.....still have those puppy love instincts...but our depth of love and commitment has GROWN SO Much in the last year. Thank you God for breathing new life!!!!

BUT I think that is what I want to work on the most.....being a better wife and better mom....I have so vicious DEMONS in my past.....sometimes things I do and say.....are horrible....I could point fingers and blame bad parenting/ lack of parenting and years of abuse and neglect on my actions.....but I know that I need to GIVE those things to GOD.....andbe more intentional with my love!!!!!!!!!HELP me.Shut my mouth when I need to shut my mouth. Give me patience when I have none. Give me love that is from YOU. Bless my husband and children and grow in their hearts despite my shortcomings and failures to reflect your love 100 percent of the time.

Oh yeah and I still need to lose weight.....ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
But I am resolved to work on the spiritual first then the physical....hehe! (dont call me lazy! hehe!)
