Happy New Year!! I am ready to meet this new year. I am glad coming out of one of the best holiday seasons of my life. I have been thinking about what is going to define me this year. Last year, I made two commitments. The first was that I would blog on a weekly basis. I have to say that I pretty much succeeded in that goal. If you have been following me you would have seen a new post from me every Sunday. I didn't get every week but eighty to ninety percent is good enough for me. As for my second goal, I determined to live a worry free life. I don't know if I could say that I was successful in this goal, but I feel better about my life now than I did one year ago. It took many battles and a lot of soul searching to get here but I feel less worried than before. I stumble a lot though. I still don't feel good about money, and I don't always parent the best way I can.
That brings me to the new goal that I will be setting for myself. I will continue to blog. I will now add to my weekly schedule taking one of my children out each week. I don't really think that I can take them out to dinner, yet. I plan to take them to library or get kids cones at the ice cream store. I have been really thinking about who I am as a parent and a man. I want to make an impact with my family. I want to be a father to my kids. I wanted to start ministering to others in my life, and I realized that my kids fall into that category. They are more important though since God gave me them as an investment. He wants to see a return for his trust in me. I want to make sure when it's all done I can say that I made the effort to expand his investment even if I failed.
That's about all I have to say for now. God go before us all this year help us grow and heal each other.
