2010 Goals

I have had some of these in my head for a couple of weeks now, and some I just thought of recently.

• To let the Word "dwell richly" in me, starting with reading it more.
• To be able honestly to answer the question "Who's the most important person in your life?" NOT with "me," but more and more with Jesus. To that end, I want to relearn how to pray; and look more to the needs of my friends and especially the not-my-friends in my life.
• To have more Mary, and less Martha in my life (see Luke 10:40).
• Intentionally parenting the kids. I posted a little about this last time.
• Learn to control my emotions better around my family.
• Garden a vegetable and then eat it. I'm going to start with something (or a few somethings) I hope will be hard to kill. Leaf lettuce? Zucchini? Suggestions?
• Do something extra for Mark each week out of love. Already behind on this one. I'd better start planning this one out like I plan meals.
• Make the kids each a great felt-applique stocking using the kits my mom got me. I grew up loving the stocking my mom made me, so I wanted to do this a lot. But looking at the 40-step directions and the 500 individual sequins, etc...I'm feeling a little intimidated.
