Well this year James and I are making several new changes to our lives. James made one all on his own, to become a better guitar player. He's so cute!
So far I am doing really well with them. I decided to tell you all so that way you can keep me countable for them so here goes...
1. Be more of a Godly man and woman and show our children how much God means to me
2. Don't be afraid to share our faith with others
3. exercise (doing good on that one. I work out with my friend Kelly almost every morning before anyone is up)
4. eat better (this is a hard one!)
5. don't use the credit card (this ones for me. James hates that)
6. Show my kids how to give back to the community
7. spend more one on one time with the kids
8. Respect my husband more and question him less (again for me)
Some of these might seem silly to you all but in this part of our life we feel there needs to be a change in the Perkins home. James and I have a great relationship but it can always get better. I want my children to see a loving christian couple that one day they want to be and have. God has blessed us with these wonderful children and other peoples kids I can't help but think how do I give back. It is simple, by teaching them about him and his word. Everyday will be a fresh start at this and I know that we can make these changes.
I hope that whatever you have wished to change or make better this year works out for you. Just remember that everyday is a new beginning and if you don't achieve what you want that day try again the next. You can't fail and try at the same time :)
One more thing our family makes decisions based on what we feel God wants from us not on what others think. Remember that when people tell you about choices they are making and you fell they are the wrong ones. They might just want to share and not have all the negative comments that come with it. Just some friendly advise.
