Ramble On/Good-bye 2012..Hello 2013

I can't believe it as taken me almost a week to put down some line. 

Are you one of the folks that make resolution?

Are you able to keep them?

There have been years I tried to make some simple resolution. Most of them ended in failure. Then I was one of those people who said, " Aww...resolution..I don't do 'em."  

but...

On December 31, 2010; I made one sort of my accident. I was driving into work very close to midnight. My drive takes me past a church that has a announcement board where they post their times and often a little message. A lot of the time I'm not impressed with the way to cutie cute messages that are on almost every church your drive by. I'm not judging the churches that do this but basically even though I'm a believer I can be terribly cynical. (I've been trying to work on that one) The sign read:

2011 Resolution: To Know God Better.

When I read it I said out loud to myself," Well there's a good one and the only one worth making. That will be my resolution for the year." 

What a resolution it was! 

I had one of the most trying years of my life but I also had a most joyous year. I am positive that God heard my words. 

When time came to ring in 2012, I was sure to be careful of my words and I continue not to prefer resolutions. For me a resolution not kept is much like a broken promise. It's better to not promise at all than to promise and then be untrue. So instead of a resolution I set 10 Goals for 2012. These were personal goals. I also wanted to pick worthy goals that I prayed over. I also reminded myself, these were my goals and not necessarily God's goals.

Out of 10, I met 6. 

Now I'm trying to find my 10 Goals for 2013.

Again, these will be personal goals. Here are a few questions I've been asking myself:

1. Would this be a goal that God would be pleased with?
2. Have I prayed about my goals?
3. Am I going dedicate time to work on these goals?

Do you make resolution or do you set goals?

There are a few key words that keep shouting out to me as I think about 2013.

Those words are time and faith. 

What words do you think of for 2013?

I want to thank for stopping by.

I want to wish you a truly

Blessed Day

& 

A Wonderfully Prosperous New Year!

It's a Great Day for Fishin'

I started this day early like most with a cup of coffee in hand and a kiss to the old man on his way out the door another day of work beginning well before the sun has rose. After he rolled out I glanced at the calendar, that helpful reminder of the days duties. But it's the holidays and my block is empty except for that solid little black fish. 

Translation~Black fish=great day for fishing.

 But...I'm unprepared, I couldn't tell you where my pole might be, my license(what license) have expired, sleet is hitting the window and Jack is still snuggled in bed; so I've did my kind of fishing. At least as of lately, I've waded through my favorite blogs. There have been some awfully good ones that made me feel inspired or gave me a smile. 

All the sudden..

I gotta hit...

This one I couldn't throw back and I'm going to share him with you.

This guys perspective true and breathtaking.

I hope you enjoyed his post as much as I did.

Thank you for stopping by 

and as always..

BE BLESSED.

The Post Christmas Post

Christmas has come and gone like a whirlwind around here. I do mean that literally. The wind has blowed like crazy and the rain has came. Thankfully the rain has went leaving at least a sunny picture from the window.

• done some after Christmas clean-up
• checked out facebook for all cute family and friends pics
• I got a little crafty and made my daughter a hat
