The beginning of a new school year has always made me want to resolve to improve particular areas of my life. Although, this happens many times throughout the year for me, New Year's and beginning of school year are the worst/best!
Usually, my resolutions are personal improvement-oriented. Hopefully, not too self-centered, but I sure have a LOT of room for improvement!
So, this year I resolve to:
Simplify-mostly in our home, but also in my thoughts, expectations, etc.
Focus on now! especially where my husband and children are concerned. But, also, with friends and even strangers that I come in contact with.
(I am, also, still memorizing on Bible verse each week with a Bible Memory program thru my church. Very challenging for me, but it has REALLY forced me to focus on each word in a verse and it's meaning in my life. So, to keep me accountable, I am posting the verse here.)
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
