What it all boils down to...

...is I need to be a better servant.  First and foremost to my God; then my husband and my kids.  I need an attitude makeover and I am praying this year that the Lord will mold me more into His likeness.  I know I was made in His image, but I certainely don't reflect it.  The Lord has pointed-out to me ways that I can make this easier...get organized, make time and listen.  I find it very hard to do anything other than stress when the house is such a mess.  I will be anxious when the piles of tools, boards and dry wall are no longer plaguing our living space.  Nick will be building a shed (hopefully starting next weekend), so the clutter is about to improve :)  Next, I need to designate a very specific time to the Lord each and everyday.   Then, comes the REALLY hard part...listening.  I am a very impatient person when it comes to closing my mouth and opening my ears.  Time to live out Psalm 46:10.  Actually, it was time a LONG, LONG time ago.  I am not making a resolution, I am making a life change.  I will most likely slip-up and make excuses along the way, but I am praying my heart will miss being on track and my rabbit trails won't last long.  Praise be to God for another year...praying we all make the most of it for His glory.
