And so the Journey Begins . . .

Two days ago, I turned 39 thus activating the countdown to the big 4-0.

On my trek to 40, there are a few things I'd like to accomplish, some traits and characteristics I'd like to change, some new habits I plan to pick up. 

Now hold on, ya'll. I might hit on some typically taboo subjects such as truly honoring my husband, realizing I'm not Super Mom, controlling my thoughts, the tongue as a weapon, out of control eating habits which translate to excess weight, undiscipline in daily life, lack of focus which = lack of effectiveness. Whew - there I said it.

To see true change will take initiative, discipline, accountability and faithfulness.  It will require brutal honesty, complete dependence on Christ, the ability to see where I fall short and the integrity to make the needed changes.

Whether anyone ever reads this Blog or not has nothing to do with why I'm writing it.

It has everything to do with Christ's ability to use this Blog to humble me, change me and make me a better Christ Follower, Wife, Mom, etc.

Today, August 30, 2010, I begin my 12 month journey to greater Christ likeness, a hot(ter) marriage, a solid agenda for my role as Mommy, better physical health and prayerfully a year in which I will TRULY make a difference in my home, my church, my community for Jesus.

If you'd care to join me, I'd love your company, your comments, your stories, your advice and friendship.

It's all because of Jesus, all about Jesus and all for Jesus.

So . . . let's get this party started!!!
