Out with the Old...

and in with the new. At least that is what we try to accomplish with the start of each new year. I have decided to not add any new "New Years Resolutions". Instead I am going to stay the course and keep working on what I started last year. I did not reach the goals I had set for myself last year so why try to add on to the ones I already have to finish.



So here's a wrap of 2011...


JAN: New Year with only 1 car

FEB: Saving Money for another car & praying that we will be patient on the Lord

MAR: God has answered our prayers with the gift of a used van

APR: We started P90X

MAY: The kids finished school and are all promoted to the next grade

JUN: Hung out in Vegas for my birthday with some of the most amazing people on the planet...my Kadena Oki Peeps!

JUL: The kids have been hanging out with the Grandparents down at Wild Adventure theme park since the end of June

AUG: Back to school and back to meetings...ahhhh fall! :-)

SEP: Bumpy road while trying to get my barrings

OCT: Enjoyed Halloween with the kids

NOV: Truly Thankful for all of God's Goodness

DEC: May not be much, but best Christmas in a long long time and Mike & I celebrated 16 years of marriage



And here's the Goals for 2012...


Still working on those last 20 to 30 pounds and yes they come off this year! If my friend Amy can do it then so can I!

Be more attentive at work. I just want to do better at what I am so blessed to do.

I would love to be more active with my kids. This plan is already in action - I'm excited about this year!

Get everyone's exams done. This is already in act. All appointments but dental are made!

Replenish the said savings account. I need to stay the course on this plan and not let myself get derailed!

So there you have it...a quick review of my year and what I'd like to accomplish this upcoming year. What about you? Did you accomplish any of your goals that you set for yourself last year? If not...are you resetting? I hope so. Never give up!


~Peace & Blessings~ Jen

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
