Okay.. Now onto the Happy Posting...

So this year is proving to be a year of endurance/patience... so with that said, I will tell you about our goals (not resolutions) for the year!

First off, our Motto this year (we have never had a motto) is:

2009 Is OUR Time to Shine!

So the goals are as follows:

1. Spiritual
2. Physical
3. Financial

Let me elaborate:

1. Spiritual - Hubby and I have been members to a WONDERFUL church for about a year (actually I think our 1 yr anniv is coming up). We love our Pastors, the church family and how we get to spend time with these wonderful people. We know that GOD wants to do some special things in our lives this year and we are so ready. We are praying about going on a mission trip with our church to Belize in April and believe that GOD will provide for us to be able to go. We are part of the worship band and are praying that GOD push through during worship and lead others to what they are called to do. I personally am believing in presenting songs that I have written for praise and worship <--yikes!!!! :) It's just gonna be a big year. As well as all this stuff, we are praying that GOD show us how to make time for him in our personal time - meaning getting into the word and just growing!
2. Physical - Hubby and I are both overweight - boo! and will be working hard this year to not be! Of course, this is probably the biggest struggle we will both work on because we LOVE food! When we get together with friends, we eat. When we celebrate something, we eat. When we come home from work, we eat. So now we will still eat (you have to live, don't you?) so from now on, we will eat to live and not live to eat! We have started to make big changes in our life *NO SODA at the house or otherwise. Drink water or tea (crystal light anyone?) - So be on the look out for progress reports.... our profile pic will be our before (we haven't changed much from then) - honestly, I think my biggest problem will be drinking atleast 64 oz of water a day! ay yay yay... So is life!
3. Financial - First and foremost, Hubby and I will be tithing faithfully every paycheck, bonus check, income tax check, whatever check. This is something that we have been very negligent in and are believing the Lord will show us and be faithful to us in multiplying our giving. So we are going to give with a cheerful heart! (as a matter of fact, we gave our first tithe- 10% of the paycheck + a little more) this past week Sunday! Also, hubby and I are going to be debt free this year! Well maybe not completely cause we have a HOUSE and a CAR - but we are wanting to be 100% debt free from all CC and any other miscellaneous stuff! We are really pushing to get to this goal and will believe that we will beat it!

So there you have it! Our three goals for the year! yup! It's time!

So what are yours??

Hasta!
