I saved the most important factor in overall health until last.  After praying and considering this over the past few weeks, I feel these are the areas the Lord would have me to focus more on:

   1) Spending more time in prayer that's specific for our children.  As they grow older and face so many decisions and challenges as young adults, newly married adults, college and high school adults, I see how important it is to stay on my knees on their behalf.  In so many ways, the younger years are easier...they are more difficult physically, but the older years are more difficult as you begin to let them go and observe them as they begin to make decisions and choices for themselves.

   2) Working on developing word/topical studies in the Bible.

   3)  Memorizing scripture...this is a toughie for me, I have a very hard time memorizing anything word for word...I remember the gist just fine...but I really want to remember the verses in their entirety and accurately.

   What are your spiritual health/growth goals this year?

And speaking of the year  -   Happy New Year's!
