A New Year - 2010

Wow...long time since I blogged. The holidays are so busy sometimes. Currently starting the new year with a church wide 21 day fast. It has been hard sometimes but mostly rewarding. I like that we do this together as a church at least when you are weak you can talk freely to someone about it instead of having to do it in secret. Fasts in secret are very hard. I know that there is a time for that type of fast but it sure is harder. I pray that once this fast is over I will be able to maintain some of the good eating habits I have been practicing. I am believing God for some pretty important stuff in my family and the lives of others. I know HE hears our prayers and I believe that if I commit these things to HIM, He will be faithful. He has proven that to me over and over and over again. Lord, forgive me for ever doubting you.

Girls start softball season soon...busy time of the year but I have so very few of these years left with them. Both girls are about to get their restricted license. Wow...time flies. Alicia will graduate from college in May and has decided to pursuit her Master's degree. God has really blessed her. Thank you God for your faithfulness. She has turned out to be a young lady that a mom can be proud of. She is a girl with wisdom beyond her years. '

Planning a family vacation this year has been so difficult. We all want to do something different. Lord, please help us sort it out. Cruise, Camping, Mountain Cabin, Family Reunion in Arkansas, summer, winter? Geez...but if it you don't plan it...you just don't take one.

Looking forward to Heart Connection this year. Having a leadership planning meeting this month. Please Lord, we need your wisdom and guidance. Help us to do what you want.

Well time for bed,

In His Grip of Grace,
Dot
