I found my resolution!!

I've been mulling over what I should make as my New Year's Resolution this year. It was hard to figure something out - there is so much I want, and need, to accomplish. But I think I have finally found something that truly expresses what my heart feels. I have to admit, I didn't come up with it on my own, but when I read about it, I knew right away "this is it!"
I am going to make the focus of my home, my daily routine, my whole life, be the words of this verse. I want God to be in my hands, to be beside me in everything I do. I want to be a reflection of what Jesus would have me do for my family, my home, my entire life. I am a Christian, and have been for quite a while, but I think in this last year I got so wrapped up in my circumstances and the craziness of life that I forgot to be quiet before the Lord, to meditate on how He would have me go about my day. I got so wrapped up in the tasks I needed to accomplish that I forgot to have joy in all things. I let myself get stressed out about things I shouldn't have. Honestly, I forgot to smile and have fun. And I need more of that. Lots more of that. 2009 will be a year of happiness and joy for me and my family - no matter what life circumstances end up being. This is my resolution!

To find out a more in-depth look at this verse, go to Home Sanctuary and see what Rachel Anne has to say about it.
