Follow Friday Four Fill In Fun

My friend Cindy has a fun "hop" on her blog.  So here I am doing it!

This week’s statements:

1. Lately, I have been feeling  a little___________

2. I am usually a ­­­­______

3. ________________________is always the best feeling at the end of the day

4. _________________________is the first thing I do in the morning

My answers:

1.  Lately, I have been feeling a little like a failure as a mother.

A bright pink bottle of polish thrown during a tizzy.  It broke and spilled on the light tan carpet.  Both lines of polish are about a foot in length.

2. I am usually a very shy and quiet person.  Yeah, right!  It just felt kind of fun to write that down.  Let's just say you know when I walk into a room.

3.               is always the best feeling at the end of the day.  Laying my weary bones down on the bed.  Yup, that a good feeling.  

4.               is the first thing I do in the morning.  Well, I could be all spiritual and say pray, but in actuality the first thing I do in the morning is go to the bathroom!

Is that too much information?  ;-)

New Year's Review instead of Resolution

I had to steal this picture from my friend Cindy at For One Another!  It was just so on the mark!

I don't do resolutions. I even wrote about it on New Year's Day this year.

But I thought I'd share one thing I do to start the new year.  I use a wonderful set of questions written by Don Whitney of The Center for Biblical Spirituality.  It's written as a bulletin insert, so it fits really well in your Bible.

It's called Ten Questions to Ask at the Start of a New Year or On Your Birthday.  I do one every day for the first 10 days, but you can do them all on one day.  Then there is an additional 21 questions if you want to take it further.  So, I tend to do one question for each day in January and then review it through out the year.

Here's an example of some of the questions:

• What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?
•  What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years?  In eternity?
•  What’s one thing you could do this year to enrich the spiritual legacy you will leave to your children and grandchildren?

You get the idea.

So, if you would like to join me this year to “Consider your ways!” (Haggai 1:5) just go HERE and scroll down to the title.
