Resolutions...

{source}

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Resolutions...to do them or not to do them or to write them but not really do them? Which category do you fall into? I am in the speak of them but they are broad (like continue to balance family and "stuff"). The husband and I speak of them to each other but again, ours are broad...big picture things.

Okay, fess up...do you write them down but only last like 2 days? Admit it, c'mon, there is freedom here. haha!

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Hey 2012...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
It feels odd to type "I'm back!" I don't really know why but it does. So let's just say "what up" instead? Mmmkay? Perf!

How was Christmas? New Years? Break? I type these questions very much knowing they are rhetorical (is that how you spell that. I don't want to do spell check today. here goes it to the masses). Our break was great. We had a very long road trip, 2 very sick little ones, great family time, lots of pj days, sweet conversations between hubs and wife about life as we are listening to "Kisses from Katie" book, and lots of sliding (little ones got a little slide) and lots of tea parties (little ones got a tea set). It was so glorious!! Family time as our little 4 (plus aunts and grandparents) is soooooo good.

I have been surrounded by medicine like I am a pharmacist...it actually made me think of my college roomie who I adore and don't ever see who is a pharmacist (that was just a random thought that I typed and I probably should delete b/c it has nothing to do with your life but I don't want to). Prayerfully the littles will get better...soon. They are so snuggly when they are all sick and snotty. YOU, grown up teenage girls, were sick and snotty at some point and your parents sat and snuggled you and your blankie and watched mickey mouse clubhouse for 3 hours straight too...memories!

Happy New Year everyone (let's all pretend it's not January 5th but January 1st). Perf!


Be awesome & Love Jesus,

New Title for New Year's Resolutions...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Gals,
So it's 2011! Crazy, huh? (I'm quite nervous typing now that I know the Grammar Police is possibly reading this...I'm so confident I'm blowing it already!). I, like I shared earlier, was in bed by 10:30 pm on New Year's. What can I say I have a newborn. Surely that counts.

As I think of the New Year it does make my heart and soul stir with the idea of goals, resolutions and random thoughts. I know some hate the fact that it takes a New Year to reestablish goals and such, but for me I don't mind it. I think it is good to re-evaluate life and ask yourself, "Self, how's your heart?" I'm sure each of you asked yourself that exact question. Right?

Sometimes all this soul stirring can create an idea that everything about your days, your life and you need to change 1,000%. That my sweet friend is not what needs to happen. See comic below.I am definitely not saying you are perfect, GASP from some of you, but I am saying that some of you made a list in your journals or facebook or whatever of your resolutions and they were all about changing you...your weight, your friends, your who's dating who, your clothes...I wonder if the New Years Resolutions wouldn't be better titled..."How do I continue in 2011 to feel and know God's love for me and how, in turn, do I show that to others?" I know it's not as catchy, but that could be a subtitle.

So today make a new list. Throw away the one with numbers of weight loss, concerts to see this year, or the boy to kiss at Prom. Make the list of TRUTH in the form of God's love in your life. Sure think the world of each of you! Keep walking in truth, love and grace.

Be Awesome & Love Jesus,
