New Year Musings

This post got me thinking about the new year. They have a lot of good ideas... (like drink more water, I def need to do that...)

I love any moment in the year were I can reflect back and also look forward... Birthdays, Anniversaries, Advent, Lent, and most obviously New Years.

dress: walmart, sweater: ross, necklace: ebay, tights: Jeni, belt: thifted, shoes: payless

This outfit was for Church, not for New Years Eve, we stayed in, had wine and cookies, watched the Christmas Carol and got in bed before midnight :) It was nice.


I've come up with biblical characters that I want to role model based on bad habits I have...

Look to Mary (and Martha)... primacy on sitting at Jesus' feet, letting go of driveness, renewing my tech fast.

Look to Anna... valuing faithfulness, faith in the fruit of prayer, eyes open the the Holy Spirit's leadings all throughout my day, and valuing becoming old in the Lord (not just seeing my youth as my credibility)

Look to the Virgin Mary... for letting go of control, for submission for what the Lord asks of me, especially to the mundane in life and my vocation as wife and mother.

Look to Jesus... (of course for everything, but...) specifically learning from the way he discipled his apostles as I teach and disciple my little ones.


I know for me, I looove ideas and I love lists and plans, but often times don't follow through. So I thought If I had role biblical mentors that I could keep coming back to, to help me with various areas of my life, maybe (with the help of grace) I would actually follow through, change and grow.


Hope you girls had a great time (with your guys) in Deep Creek, look forward to hearing about it or seeing some pictures. Happy New Year!!
