I thought I needed to stop by and give you an update. I guess some of you have noticed that I'm not blogging as much. The reason for that is..I got so busy with the "photographer" thing the months of November and December I didn't have time to do anything but sit at my computer and edit...and burn (cd's)...and post. I'm burned out to say the least.
Other things got pushed out of sight until I could get to them...so that means I'm still trying to get caught up around the house. I have never been the type to sit at my computer very long at one time. I have always checked my favorite blogs in the morning and then I was off to get other things done. This hasn't been the case for the past several months. Bro. Mike, in his preaching, has told us about not letting hobbies or other things get in the way of what's important, (God), and I have to admit my hobby was almost winning. So that has to change. God is the most important thing to me. This week I have been spending a lot of time reading God's word and praying. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!! I love Him.
Plus this week my girls got settled back into school. Jen, our youngest, is soon to be 18 and is busy making sure that I know she has a party in sight. So we have been working on that. D, our oldest, had some major decisions to make over the Christmas break about college. She graduated 6 months early with her AA and had about decided where she was going to after that but a kink got thrown in...something simple...not grades...high school transcipts not being received. Yada..yada..yada, so real fast she had to decide where to go. She decided to go back to Chipola to finish. She is so excited about this because she loves the idea of being able to be at home with us. Which we also love...except maybe for Jennifer. She thought she was going to have Daniel and me to herself. Anyway, D loves Chipola and if she keeps working like she is she will have her Business degree December 2010. (Thanks, Boo and Debbie, for praying us through that.)
Contest is ending tonight at midnight. I have loved the comments. Some have brought tears, laughter, head nodding in agreement, and some that I couldn't believe how similar they were to my goals for the year. I will annouce the winner on Monday. Thanks for entering.
Have a great weekend!! Oh yeah, another thing, please keep me posted on how your "goals" that you've set are going. Can't wait to hear what happens in 2009.
Hey girl, I took the time this morning to get caught up on your blog, you know me, I'll wait 3 weeks and then get caught up in one hour!!! I completely understand what you are saying about hobbies taking over, I do the same thing. That of course, leads me to New Years resolutions; keeping my Jesus first above anyone and everything, which translates to spending time with HIM everyday in prayer, living out my faith in everything I do and say, striving (I am weak in this area)to be in HIS word everyday, even if it is only one verse, continue to "simplify" my life by cleaning out the clutter, of course, this goes w/o saying but continuing to stay focused and nurturing to my family, stay connected to my "real" friends, to be very careful of what I say "yes" to because I just about took on more last year than I could handle effectively, and last but not least.....lose 10 pounds, just kidding!!! I need to lose 10 pounds, but I know I won't do it because if I were to lose 10 lbs., I would gain back 5lbs., so my goal is to lose 5lbs!!!! Seriously, what I am going to focus on as far as my "physical" is to eat "healthy" and start on my exercise bike I got for Christmas!!! I promise I am not going to hang clothes on it and I am not going to let Michael use it either, he broke the pedal off my last one.........so, he is to blame for my 10lbs. weight gain........you know I am kidding!!! Kim, love ya girl......I am caught up for another couple of months now. Hey, let's "really" consider our "girls night out" for a resolution........gotta run!!

It sounds to me like everything is getting straightened out, organized, and in perspective! I need you to stay close to God so you can keep me in perspective with your wisdom about what you learn about God. We can never get enough! Love you dearly. I love the Blue Lake photos!
