Just like we've started the last 4 new years.... we celebrated the birth of Braden! He turned 4 today. Time sure has gone fast, he's been such a joy to watch grow. He got a lava lamp as one of his gifts today, he and his brother and sister are up in the boys room as we speak, I can hear them on the baby monitor... squealing with laughter about the balls of lava moving up and down through the clear liquid. He also spent the entirety of his day in a swimming suit and swim shirt. That is totally Braden because you know there is a wind chill advisory for tonight and tomorrow... Negative 25 is the perfect weather for running around mostly naked! What a kid!
New years bring new resolutions, one of them is to blog this year, I mean come on get with the times right? I'm a "techie geek" sort of girl, shame on me, we should have a family web site, maybe in 2011. Resolution number two is to read my bible in a year! This is the year to do it! I think I've finally found the bible that will help make that possible. It's in chronological order of the way the events actually happened, it's NIV version (which should make for easy reading), and it's designed to be read in 365 days. It is marked for what your supposed to read each day, it's only 3-6 pages per day. All of those things combined make it all most fail proof. I'm prayerfully hopeful that God will grant me the discipline to make it through this year. Last resolution is number three (and that's plenty) to eat healthier and build up our immune systems, as a family. I seem to have come to a new understanding and appreciation for the value of the immune system, and how easily we can damage and destroy it with anti-biotic medicines.
I'm looking forward to this year, mostly looking for spiritual growth, a better understanding of God's word, to be more faithful to it and my personal prayer life. Spending time with my wonderful husband and our delightful children (currently numbering 5). Now I must close because even though those delightful children have been tucked in for the night, I can still hear the pitter patter of little feet, and still small voices on the monitor. Good Night, and God Bless!
What a cool blog! We started reading The Mosaic Bible - it follows the Liturgical Church Year beginning with Advent - one of my goals too is to do more Bible reading on my own. Love, Aunt Sue

ReplyDeleteGreat job on the blog. Dr. David Jeremiah says it takes 72 hours to read the Bible. I need to get back into more, too. Been lazy just watching and listening!
