January..

So 2010 is not wasting any time! I have a feeling that I am now experiencing what I used to think would never happen. I am getting oldER. Not that I feel I am 'set in my ways' but I feel like these past few weeks have flown by so that means my life is flying by. I need to make lists now to get things done I use to just wing it, I have to PLAN my weekends to make sure I see and do things I want to do I used to just wing it. I used to think the days would dragggggggggggggggggggggggg onnnnnnnnnnnnn forever and now I'm lucky enough to remember what day it is. I literally remember this one thought in my head when I was 12, "God please let me wake up tomorrow and be 18" I am 28 now. I picked three WHITE hairs from my head the other day. So here I am rambling with no point but I do have a point it just takes me a minute to get there. hmmmmmm (5 mins later) ok maybe I have no point other than I'm getting oldER. (P.S. I secretly love getting older)

Ok so this is how 2010 is looking like for me this year it will be busy!
+More one on one time with God, still looking for a good daily devotional.
+Back in school full time
+Read 12 NEW books this year and 4 of them have to be NON fiction
+Be the Biggest Loser (i am soooooo going to win)
+One on One time with my nieces and nephews
+Pay off all debt (ALMOST there)
+Find some place to volunteer at
+Make time for friends that I've lost touch with over the years.

I could add but I can only do so much.

Anywho it will be a great achievement if I remember to come back here and blog. You know what I'm going to have to PLAN blogging time to at least once a month. That way I can update on the above things. Good Idea Amy!

So if there is one thing about me that I know I struggle with that I should not struggle with is WORRY. I can be a bit of a worry wart or is it wort (ummm is that even a word) anyway a really good friend of mine was at church and they handed this paper out and he gave it to me and I feel I should share it with all of you.

QUIT WORRYING BEAUSE IT IS:
1. SINFUL and produces fear
2. A DISEASE causing other ills
3. BORROWING TROUBLE that cannot be paid back
4. BROODING over what may not happen
5. CREATING trouble, misery, death
6. A BURDEN borrowed from tomorrow and others who should carry it
7. WEIGHT that kills prematurely
8. MENTAL and PHYSICAL suicide
9. A GRAVE-DIGGER that has no sympathy
10. NEEDLESS and wastes time and effort that should be spent on worthwile things
11. A ROBBER of faith, peace, and trust in a never-failing heavenly Father
12. A STUMBLING BLOCK to others
13. A DISGRACE TO GOD and should never be indulged in by Christians
14. ANXIETY over what is nothing today and less tomorrow, in view of faith
15. ANTICIPATING troubles which seldom come to those who trust God
16. TORMENT over something that will likely be a blessing if it comes
17. LIVING LIKE AN ORPHAN without an heavenly Father
18. A CRIME against God, man, nature, and better judgement
19. MENTAL CRUELTY to self and others
20. FOOLISH for whatever is going to happen cannot be stopped by worry; and if it doesn't happen, there is nothing to worry about. Should adversities actually come, one may still be vitorious by trusting in God

P.P.S Happy Birthday to my sweet Olivia. You have been such a joy to watch grow up. Your smile lights up the room and your laugh is contagious. I love you so much. Always and forever,

Aunt Amy
