Twelve Goals for 2014

1. Study God's Word every day!

2. Be consistent in training Autumn and Eden.

3. Read 1 book per month that's non-fiction, a biography, or a classic.

4. Get physically fit.

5. Run a half-marathon with my sister.

6. Sew a quilt for Luke and I's bed.

7. Eat grains the healthy way -- grinding yourself, soaking, sprouted.

8. Blog once a week (because you enjoy it!).

9. Take more pictures.

10. Play the piano at least once a week.

11. Don't let your electronic devices or entertainment rule over you or waste your time.

12. Build or buy a home. Be a home-owner by the end of the year!

Lets see how I do! I think these are manageable even with my two Littles.

With Gratitude

I haven't blogged in forever but lately I've felt the longing again, if nothing else, just to be able to look back in the months ahead and see how far I've come.
God's been teaching me a ton in the last two months. Trials tend to force growth on you. Either growth in bitterness or growth in God. And thankfully I've been turning toward Him. And I am thankful. He's given me so much peace when circumstances have been anything but. And although my skin is still messed up, I am not in pain and God has done so much healing already. I don't know when or if He'll completely heal me, but I am trying to trust His timing.
Praise the Lord today with gratitude for all He's done for you! I am!
