Happy New Year

Well it is Jan 1, 2010. On every New Years Day everyone does the same thing they look back and see what the previous year was like for them and then they try to make a prediction on what the New Year will hold for them. I am no different but I would like to look at the New Year in a new way. Instead of saying I will lose weight this year I am going to do things differently. For this new year. I am going to pray that my daughter will continue to grow and learn and smile everyday and make me smile, because everyone know that when a child smiles and laughs you can't keep from doing the same. I also pray that she will learn more about God and love him more and more everyday. I love it when I ask her want she wants to read and she says the bible mommy. For a 3 year old that is an amazing thing. I also pray that my husband will come home safely from Iraq and that this year we will get to become the family that we need to be. I can't wait to see Bella and Jerry together. I want to cherish every moment of it. I also pray that I will remember to stop and cherish every moment of my life with my husband daughter and family. I pray that my family will have a great year with many good moments. I pray that I can learn to love myself for the person that I am and that I will quit trying to be someone else. And last but not least, I pray that I will become closer to God and that my relationship with him will grow and that I can finally let him be in control of my life, even when I want to control it. For all of my friends and family I wish you all a happy new year with lots of love, hope, and a closer walk with God. I also pray that when the hard times come this year as I know that they will that we can all walk through them stronger and with a good out look because God is always with us and he will never give us more than we can handle. Happy New Year.
