1. My huge resolution is to learn to be content with what I have. I just finished Dave Ramsey's book The Total Money Makeover and my small group at church is about to start a 13 week series on Financial Peace. My husband I have realized we are not in as good of a situation as we thought we were in. So this year will be a year to make some major changes. We are sticking with the all cash envelope system and there will be no room for extra spending. If we stick to our plan we hope to start building a new house in 2011!
2.) My personal goal is to do the 40 day Love Dare by Kendrick. I want to clarify that I am not doing this to save my marriage but I will admit that much selfishness has crept in and I am partly to blame. Lately, I have recognized the tendency to be more like business partners than a husband and wife. I need to learn to show more love and patience. I hope I can be committed to do it everyday for 40 days! I will let you all know how it goes. (good thing is my husband never reads my blog so he has no idea I am doing this)
3.) I plan to get back to my one year Bible. In the past five years I have probably read the entire Bible but never once have I read it in one year. Maybe this year will be the year!
4.) On a lighter note, I am going to try to be out of my pajamas by noon. Actually, I will start with being out of my pajamas by the time Chris gets home from work and once I can accomplish that then I will try to actually be dressed by lunch (even if I am not going anywhere).
5.) And lastly, I am going to try to get to bed earlier. It is way to easy for me to sit up late watching tv or playing on facebook and then I always regret it the next morning. Both Chris and I are going to try to be in bed by 10:30 each night.
