New Year.....New Commitments

Alright- well first of all Happy New Year to everyone out there. Its the time of year where everyone says that things will start fresh, whether its with diets, to get more accomplished, etc. Well I have made a commitment to my self and also to my husband that I will start a new diet and actually stick with it this time, I have started a cleaning schedule of the house, and plan to stick with that as well, to prepare my kids for Bible Bowl every night before bed, to read more bible stories to Reef during the day and to get back on track with my daily bible studies. Wow!!! Writing that down seems like alot but I am up for doing it, and hopefully writing this down for people to see I can maybe get either help or encouragement from y'all to help me stick with it this time. See that is my downfall is to start something but can never seem to finish it. Alot like this blog, but I am going to work at that as well. One of my first things to do this year is to seriously consider getting off Face book. I am tired of all the drama, seeing people who claim to be Christians posting pics of late night parties with alcohol, immodestly dressed apparel, and the offensive words that they use. And when I sit down and after much thought and prayer to write them a letter of encouragement I sometimes get blasted by not only them but by their family members who think that it is none of my business, and then don't talk to me at all for a whole year. Now I must say that there are those who take what I say and go back and reexamine themselves and the decisions that they are making- which I am so happy for them. But it is just very disheartening to see alot of the times. But I will miss from Face book the people who I am able to sit down and have a bible study with, all the family updates on what everyone is doing in their lives, some friends who I have moved away from and we catch up from time to time. But I think it will be better for me to be off and to just email everyone like back in the day......lol So I figure a new year a new start to things around here. I will try my absolute best to be a better sister, daughter, mother, wife, friend and most importantly a better Christian to myself, those around me and to God. I just ask if there is anything that anyone sees in my life where I am not doing something pleasing to God please I actually insist on you to bring it to my attention. I need all the help that I can get to Heaven and having good strong christian friends around to lift me up will be a big help. So here is to the start of a New Year.....
