Welcome, 2013! We're looking forward to what you have to bring!
This year, I have some great intentions. I'm not calling them resolutions because it makes me feel like a bit of a failure when I resolve to do something and don't follow through, and I don't handle failure very well.
So, I'm calling them intentions. It sounds a little less...I don't know, binding?
I intend to purge my house of clutter. I HATE clutter. We have entirely too much stuff in this house that hasn't been used in over a year, and therefore probably won't ever be used again, and that's just ridiculous. If we're never going to use it, it doesn't need to be here.
I intend to be better about keeping in touch with people in ways other than via Facebook. I don't like to talk on the phone, but a little face-to-face time would be great.
Most importantly, I intend to pray with my family every day this year. I know how vital this is to our family and our relationship with Christ, as well as our relationships with each other. This isn't just a sentimental, "awwww, isn't that quaint" kind of thing. I really believe that we need to make an effort to pray together, and not just before bedtime and before meals. We all need to be more intentional about having conversations with our Creator, don't we? I mean, isn't that why we were created in the first place?
So, no more not praying with my babies or my husband because there's something "good" on TV. No more Pinterest before prayer.
I could talk a blue streak about prayer making us stronger and helping us to be more compassionate people, but I'll save it for another post.
So, faithful five readers, blessings to you and on your 2013. I hope this year brings you love, hope, joy, and peace.
