Having a relationship with him is the important thing. That's what my goal is.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044935219288603114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1167772983848312202007-01-02T16:23:00.000-05:002007-01-02T16:23:00.000-05:00Well, I'm with everyone else...I don't make resolu...Well, I'm with everyone else...I don't make resolutions. To make a resolution sounds like I'm trying to resolve a problem I'm having. Well...since I have a greater difficulty in doing that, I choose also to set short goals that I can make into future habits. Good ones! <BR/>Last night after flipping through the channels, the kids and I started singing...<BR/>"Oh be careful little ears what you hear! and so on...and so on! <BR/>* I want to watch what my ears hear and my mouth say. I've been known on occassion to say things that I regret later and I don't want to be remembered as a person like that. My biggest fear is that God heard me say the things I said and not only does that disappoint me...it does him as well. <BR/>*I want to start studying HIM more. I find time to go and get a degree, be a mom, work for money, but I don't find a lot of time for me to study about HIM and eternally being with HIM in the end. I want to do this in a very elementary way so that I can learn it with my children. <BR/>I already started this last week and so far, it's going well. Each night at dinner, the person who picked dinner for the night, gets to read the bible story and ask the rest of us questions. So far, everyone has like it.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17422379315257722278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1167769956175112352007-01-02T15:32:00.000-05:002007-01-02T15:32:00.000-05:00I am laughing. :-) Eli is so funny.

Don't let him near the "How to teach" books. :-)<BR/><BR/>No bribes needed.:-) My new years resolutions are usually the same...lose weight...get in shape...be more organized. I went as far as buying new workout tapes last year. I hope to open them this year. :-)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608645103718346947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1167753547382679122007-01-02T10:59:00.000-05:002007-01-02T10:59:00.000-05:00I am going to say ditto to all the posts above and...I am going to say ditto to all the posts above and save my self some time! Prayer, exercise and study all things I want my self to be more deeply emmersed in. I love Jeanne's idea of combining the two groups, I could offer only what NOT to do on a exercise ball! <BR/>Your quote from BM inspires me to pull out her book and dive in. I guess my biggest resolution is to STAY motivated and fullfill my resolutions.<BR/>Breaking a blah cycle is sooooo hard!<BR/>Good luck ladies and thanks for the inspiration this morning. I am praying for you today.<BR/>Love,<BR/>BDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1167750856874913902007-01-02T10:14:00.000-05:002007-01-02T10:14:00.000-05:00I guess I can be easily bribed - so here's my reso...I guess I can be easily bribed - so here's my resolutions, but I don't call them resolutions. I do like the idea of setting weekly goals though - but would someone remind about March that I have a set of goals!<BR/><BR/>Family: to read through the bible using the kids daily devotional bible.<BR/><BR/>Couple: read through the bible using a chronological bible.<BR/><BR/>Individual: I began a quest late last year to become the best that I can be so that God can use me more than I can imagine. So I will continue that journey to see where He takes me. <BR/><BR/>And of course, as always, to exercise more. Maybe we could combine an exercise group with a bible study. <BR/><BR/>Can we say...... 1 2 pray, 3, 4, pray.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, to figure out this blog thing so I don't have to remain anonymous. Love ya, Lisa Combs (can't remain anonymous for too long, I want my book!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1167748072154123922007-01-02T09:27:00.000-05:002007-01-02T09:27:00.000-05:00I like the way you make resolutions!

I've gained a lot of weight since my surgery a year ago and I've got to get busy finding the skinny me again! I bought one of those exercise balls with high hopes that I can figure out how to do it. Van suggested I ask you about it. Any guidance on how to keep from breaking my neck on this thing?!? Coordination and grace are not two of my best qualities!<BR/><BR/>Study - I'm there with you too! Now that we are in our house, I have considered hosting a Bible study group (Beth Moore or otherwise) to meet in my home like the one we did at Panera last year. Interested? <BR/><BR/>Eli - I really enjoyed Eli and Julia the other night. Watching Eli do the dance revolution was so fun! Julia cracked me up when she looked at my mother-in-law and me and said, "I don't think Eli is doing a good job of sharing and giving other people a turn, I think one of you girls should talk to him!" I assured her that he had offered a turn to others several times but that they were all enjoying watching him do it! I just love your kids!!!!!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358470510252088313noreply@blogger.com
