"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31
The new year is indeed a fresh start, a chance to begin again and "do better". I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father who loves me enough to give me as many fresh starts as I need. He will even guide me along ...if I will just let Him. That is the key, letting Him guide my steps and take control, phew, what a relief to know I am not on my own.
As for "Resolutions" for 2009.....
*serve my Lord passionately
*serve my family lovingly
*nurture my friendships faithfully
Oh yes, and:
*reach my goal weight (fit in those stupid Lucky Brand Jeans THIS year, before I am too old to wear them in public)
*spin 5 days a week (did I just say 5 days a week?! )
*read more to my little girls
*don't nag (land the helicopter-this one is for Scott)
*don't have unreal expectations
*stay on budget (ouch! I HATE the cash envelopes!!!)
*practice patience (ugh)
Philippians 4:13 should come in handy this year!! I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

Great verse for the new year!!!
-sandy toes
Just catching up on all your posts over the holidays. Your family always does the best family activities! I love that!
Love the Benihana story. Those sort of things never seem to meet up to my expectations either. I always have these grand, fairytale visions of how things will play out with things i plan...but they never seem to go that way. But they make good memories in their own way.
Happy New Year and good luch with your resolutions!
Oh Inger, now I'm feeling guilty because I need to make all of those resolutions! :) Good luck with all of them...you will do GREAT!!
