New Years

     Okay, here we are the third day into 2010.  Hard to believe.  I am seeing lots of New Year's Resolutions and goals written out for this New Year.
     I am not so good at goals.  I love to think of them, make a big list, and am pretty good at starting them, but not so good on the finising.  In my mind I do have lots of goals for myself and I always fall short.  Always.  I am always failing myself.  Do you feel that way?  I know it's because I am trying to lean on my own strength, pick my ideas for what I think is best for me instead of leaning on my Father.
     I do need to make some changes though.  I do need a plan or I will drive myself crazy.  My house is crazy, the clutter is killing me and the piles of stuff to go through just keep growing.  I need to get my life under control!
     So, here are my goals:
           1) Lean on God, listen to God, pray, read my Bible more regularly, pray with my kids more regularly, read the Bible with my kids more regularly, pray with my husband more, do devotions with my husband.
           2) Eat better and feed my kids better, exercise regularly (I have actually been doing the exercise part but the eating is out of control)
           3) Get my house under control - I know this is very broad and I am doing that on purpose.  I joined FlyLady - am not sure if I can do everything but she says start with babysteps and I am definitely doing that.  Day 1, shine my sink is halfway done.
           4) I would also like to continue to trim my budget and get some things paid off.  This month, we will have our credit cards paid off (yahoo!!).  Next I am going to work on getting rid of our car payment.  We supposedly have 4 more years on that sucker and I would like to cut it to 2. 
     That's it.  Manageable right?  I hope so.  I will keep things up to date hopefully.
Happy New Year!
