Family Goals
1. Purpose to be home more in 2008.
2. Love one another, prefer one another, be kind and tender-hearted to one another.
(Family Verse for 2008, Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."ESV)
Personal Goals
(Revised from last year)
1. Read my Bible and pray every day possible.
(Growing in grace to do what I know I am called to do, pursue holiness.)
2. Seek out tangible ways to encourage others as often as possible.
3. Purpose and pray to eat only when I am hungry, stopping when I am full, not stuffed!
The way to Heaven is ascending;
we must be content to travel uphill,
though it be hard and tiresome,
and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
Jonathan Edwards
Oct. 22, 2007~ Prayer Requests ~
If you come across this blog and have a moment, I'd appreciate your prayers :
1. Pray that I will love the Lord with all my heart, mind and soul.
2. Pray that I can be the godly wife that my husband deserves. Pray that I'd use my time wisely. That I'd build him up. That I'd spend money carefully and make the most of what he provides.
3. Pray that my 9 year old son's heart will soften towards others, especially his family. I am really getting worn out by his bad attitudes and lack of respect. I don't know what else to do except for to pray. Most likely, I will be praying this same prayer for a long time for this child. He is going to have to learn things the hard way, like the rest of us!
4. Pray that I will grow in self-control. Pray that I would desire to be a woman of moderation.
5. Pray that I will trust the Lord to provide. I fret over things that never come to pass or end up working out in a way that is manageable. Why do I fret?
Thank you and if you have a prayer request, I'd be glad to pray for you. Just let me know.

I will be praying for all of your concerns, Jenn. Please pray for my step brother Bruce, who is stranded on the road in CA. Also, the little guy that I used to babysit for has croop (sp?) really bad and was just released from the hospital this morning. His momma is going to have to work from home for the next couple of weeks, b/c he can't be around other children, so pray for their family. Thanks!
Leviticus 20:26 says, "You must be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own." This blog is my place to remember this journey I am on and God's goodness to me. I am glad you are here. Welcome to my blog.
