As 2010 approaches...
Thursday, December 31, 2009 Edit This 0 Comments »
All I can think is wow. This has been the year of change. It started with a new TV because our big screen TV went out on New Year's Day. We ended up buying a LCD TV which was pretty awesome. Our laptop crashed and the dryer shortly after. While the upgrades are nice, I could have done without the extra expense. :)
I went for being a children's director for Community Bible Study and staying home to working full-time in a secondary office. In January 2009, Jack was going to school for 4 hours everyday, and Luke was going twice a week for 5 1/2 hours. Now, both of my boys are in school all day. They are flourishing in a way I never imagined. Luke can see me throughout the day, give me a big hug, and go along his way with the rest of the class. He went from crying every single time I left him somewhere to being completely happy being left in his Pre-K class.
Jack has amazed me this year. He went from a shy little boy who couldn't read very well to an outgoing young man who loves to read The Hardy Boys and The Wimpy Kid Diary which are good size novels. He loves Math and Science. The only thing that hasn't changed is his favorite thing at school is P.E.
Aaron has changed jobs. He was driving to West 820 until he moved his job to north Dallas. What a haul! Although, it is pretty cool that he knows his way around up there. It made it really nice when we went to Medieval Times last week. We both get up way too early in the morning, but he can be home by 6 and have Fridays off every week. We love it!
Probably the saddest change for me is watching my babies become boys. I see the little bellies and baby talk disappearing right in front of me. I love that they are growing up, but it hurts my heart at the same time.
Amidst all the change, we have had a lot of fun especially doing family activities. Some of my favorites this year were Six Flags,Nashville with Uncle B, Vonnie and Ellie,camping,and Medieval Times.
I pray that 2010 brings my family peace and happiness. I pray that my boys continue their love for school and find friends who love God and want to do good. I pray that Aaron continues to enjoy his working environment and always sees the progress he is making at his job. I pray that when I open my mouth it is used as a tool to lift others instead of being negative. I pray that as Aaron and I approach our 10th anniversary that we love each other more everyday and find laughter in everything. I pray that myself, family and friends will find a peace that will last them a lifetime.
I want anyone and everyone who reads this to realize that true peace is ONLY obtained through Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. No matter the circumstances He will always be there to stand beside you and comfort you in a way no human can. His love is everlasting, and He wants you to part of His forever family. When you claim Him as the Son of God who while sinless himself died on the cross for our sins and rose three days later, then a peace so pure will rest upon you.
This is one of my top three verses from the Bible:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
Let 2010 be the year you give up control and let God be in true control of your life. What better opportunity than the start of a new decade to give your life to the One who loves you so much He had His Son die on a cross for you so you could be with Him for eternity. I don't know many people who would sacrifice their own child for someone else. God bless and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
