Resolutions
I'm not one for making New Year's Resolutions, because it's rather discouraging when I don't keep them (not intentionally, though). However, I would like to make it my resolution to read the book, "The Resolution for Women" (which is already sitting on my night table).
Written in partnership with the film, COURAGEOUS, The Resolution for Women focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy.
In the movie, COURAGEOUS, I'm very inspired by the conversation that takes place with the group of men and one says, "You've been a good enough father", and the other man responds with, "But, I don't want to be just good enough".
I too don't want to be just a good enough Mom, or wife, or daughter, or friend, etc. As parents, we are molding our children for the next generation, and the next generation after that. I want to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God's beautiful and eternal calling on my life.
This year, I have continued to see God's never ending love, and His great faithfulness. I have been blessed beyond words.
My cup runneth over.
Continuing to give thanks for my many blessings...

I love seeing your snowy pictures. Especially since my girls were wearing flip-flops last week. Thanks for sharing
Always so much fun going on with you guys! I agree that that line in the movie is very touching and I want it to be the thing that motivates me too. I have that book and we should read it together and have a cup of tea to chat about it :)
