Happy New Year, ya’ll!

How do you like my snowy picture?  Here in NC we have seen ZERO winter weather, not even any cold temps, so I had to add in some snow.  Even though the kids were happy to wear shorts all December, a huge snowstorm is at the top of my wish-list for this winter.

If you know me at all, you know I love a new year.  After the fiasco that was last January I am hesitant to make any big resolutions or plans, but I still have the usual after-Christmas urge to be healthier and get up earlier to get some things done.  I’m just hesitant to put what I want to do into words and commit fully.

Because, you know what???

“We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9 (NLT)

So my plan for this year is to just try to do a little better.  To listen for God a little more closely, to be a little kinder, to appreciate things a little more fully. I want to do better with the things that God has already entrusted to me.

And I really want to play in the snow.

What are your resolutions for 2016?
