2013 in Review

I feel like I have done my readers a disservice. 2013 was meant to be the year I came out fire blazing and full of passion. My last post was in September. So not much passion obviously.

But 2013 was not like I thought it would be period. Adjusting to life with a child is a daily challenge. My daughter turned 13 months yesterday. She is so much more than I thought she could or would be. Walking, sometimes running, 12 teeth, sassy, loving, full of slobbery kisses and a complete joy. Trying to balance home, work, motherhood, being a wife, a servant to the Lord - it all takes balance. 2013 helped me get my feet under me. I stumbled along the way. Prayer fell off at times, as did daily Bible reading. My health suffered some. But the chapter known as 2013 is closed.

2014 is now upon us. I have a renewed spirit within me, one that is a little more realistic. Having a passion, a plan and ideas are great. As long as they are rooted in reality. My goals for W.I.F.E. in 2014 are this:

• Complete the Bible Study I am working up, based around the legacy's that women in the Bible have left us. I have begun writing it! So that is an accomplishment in itself. Then see about getting it published!
• Share on this blog at least twice a week. Either an insight from the Lord, an inspiring verse or song, or a detailed post .

Personally here are my goals that I believe will help me establish my ministry as God has called me:

• Read my Bible daily.
• Pray without ceasing.
• Finish memorizing The Book of James. Then move onto memorizing The Book of Ruth.
• Lay out 5 Bible verses that apply to my daughter and say them with her and over her daily.
• Ask my husband consistently what his prayer needs are.

These aren't resolutions to kick off the new year. I have never been a fan of that concept. I prefer to try and better myself continually throughout the year.

Please join me regularly to see what God is doing in my life as He reveals to me what it means to be a W.I.F.E. to Him.
