Scriptures to Ponder

Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward apprearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Pictures of our New Year's Eve fun will follow. But this is how I started my new year.

New Year's Eve was so pretty because it snowed, snowing these really big fluffy flakes. It snowed all night and into the next day. I was supposed to leave Chicago on 1/1 at 3:56 pm. I was on the phone with my bff Holly at 3:45pm when she asked me when I was supposed to be leaving. I told her the time and that I should have boarded already, when the lady announces that my flight has been canceled. Well the next flight was canceled too. My next flight is to leave at 8:30 am 1/2. So I ask for my luggage back. They won't give it back because it is in some kind of caged lock down & they cannot get it. They inform me that it will be waiting for me in Springfield. Well I explained to them that there is not flight to Springfield - THEY WERE CANCELED. But they told me that they would get there - "maybe on another airline". Yeah right, so I go back to Jeremy's house with no luggage.

1/2 - 8:30 AM - flight delayed - take off finally at 9:15 AM. Get to SGF - no luggage. My luggage shows that it is STILL in CHICAGO!!! Apparently it did NOT make it to SGF before me or WITH me.

11:30 am finally make it to car that is parked at the airport - and car DOES NOT start! Dead battery. And they can't jump it because my car is facing a fence with cars parked to either side of it. So, they have to call a mechanic's shop. The mechanic brings some kind of "jumper box". And it does not work - so he informs me that my battery is REALLY dead & he needs to attach 2 boxes & he'll be back. So at 12:30 pm I finally drive away from the airport!

GOOD TIMES!!

I did not make a resolution this year - but I made one for Jeremiah. His resolution is to read a motivational book this year. And I have the one for him to read, but I have to read it first. What is your resolution?

Resolution schmesolution. Come on...who keeps them anyway. I would love to make a budget, start jogging to lose 20 pounds, send birthday cards to everyone in my address book, etc.... But reality is I have 2 children under the age of 3. Happy New Year!

Those are some good thoughts though. I guess it is not keeping that is the most important, but giving yourself a goal to work toward for the year. If you don't have a goal then you definately won't try to improve yourself.
