This year has been full of ups and downs just like any other. I just have to say that this year I learned to trust the Lord, just wait patiently, and give in to His peace! In the past I have put other people and their needs before me and my family. This lead me to take on to many things, stress my self out, and feel guilty about all of it. About half way through the year the Lord really began to work on me! I think I somewhat realized that I am a piece of Gods puzzle and He has work for me to do, and even though that work may seem to me like its just doing what I love, its what He has planned for me! Faithful Steps of Iredell County has really grown! I have a wonderful and amazingly talented team! We have been blessed and have been able to bless others! I had been patiently (sometimes without a smile) for the change that I kept feeling when I prayed to come. Brian Cearlock and I werent sure what the change was or when it was coming but we knew we were ready! In the summer I was urged to contact the YMCA to teach classes. Honestly I was scared to take on anything else. I was already spread so thin. I prayed and found peace so off I went. The road from there was bumpy but I am so thankful I stuck it out. So this year going into 2015, instead of new years resolution I am sticking to my word INTENTIONAL! I want to be an intentional mother, which means not spending more time with my kids (because lets face it, they are always with me if they arent at school) but being intentional on how we spend that time. Not as much running from here to there in the car with their headphones on. I want to be an intentional wife that doesnt sit up until past bed time working on things that seem so important, but taking the evenings to soak up that time with my wonderful husband. Making the time to cook dinners and keep the house clean. I want to be an intentional employee that works as hard as possible while I am there. I certainly have not been a good friend to anyone this past year. I have run myself so ragged that I couldnt be engaged in your lives the way I need to be and I am sorry, I will be intentional in my friendships. I will be intentional with my family to let them know how much they mean to me, making more phone calls and visits. I want to be intentional with Faithful Steps in our mission and our devotion! I want to be intentional with myself. Making sure I take care of me! Eating the right food, exercise, and my hardest getting rest. Most importantly I will be intentional with the work that God has for me and my time with Him! Spending time in Him and with Him! Here is to an amazing 2015! I cant wait!
