New Year, New Me

Hey! If you don't know who I am my name is Laura....just recently married 6 months ago to a wonderful husband and we have an amazing 15 month year old son, altogether living in Union City, TN..two hours away from my friends and family.  I have decided for the new year to start a blog to communicate my thoughts, feelings, excitements, let downs, and everything that essentially goes on in my life.

This new year in 2011 I want to be a new and improved ME that glorifies God in everything I say, think and do! Well lets just say I have many New Year's resolutions and just maybe I can have enough self-discipline to achieve them....I want to tell you the many resolutions I want to accomplish and maybe you can help me achieve them!

Here is the list of my New Year's Resolutions....
Read the entire Bible in a year
Not worry as much as I do....
Work Out at least 3 times a week
Continue to write on this Blog
Spend my money more wisely and SAVE!
Eat right
Graduate with good grades
Find a good job and excel at it:)
Be slow to anger, quick to listen, slow to speak (James 1:19)
Make forth an effort to find good, quality friends

Ultimately....Glorify God the way he wants me to.

Obviously this is a lot to accomplish, but I think it can be done. I have already gotten on track with reading the Bible in a year and to tell you the truth even reading Genesis chapters 1-4 (chapters I have read and heard over and over again) I have recognized things that I have never realized before...God is opening my eyes in a whole new way by reading his word and being enlightened. I hope to be self disciplined enough to continue reading through the Bible this entire year and I hope that noting gets in my way...*wishful thinking!

I know many of you who have made New Year's resolutions and plan to achieve them...I encourage you to stick with it! Don't let silly things keep you from achieving those goals! Let's together start this New Year with a positive outlook and not remember the past! Look toward the future and what God has in store for us!
