Look What I Found!
New Years Resolutions from 2004. Let’s see how we did/ are doing!
Our family has alot of goals for this up coming year. We probably won’t accomplish them all. Yet, even if we are consistent with a few I know God will bless our efforts:
1. Have a family meeting once a week to discuss the upcoming week, personal and family goals and to talk about anything that may be bothering anyone.
2. To have a ten minute family devotion before bed every night and a more in depth Bible study once a week.
3. To be an encouraging family that lifts each other up with our words.
4. To be a family that doesn’t raise our voices or yell at one another.
5. To be obedient to our parents and to God.
6. To have family fun nights once a week
7. To do some kind of ministry together a couple of times this year.
8. To fast or to give up things more often for God.
Believe it or not many of these goals came straight from the kids. We simply asked them what kind of family they wanted ours to be and what things they wanted to do together as a family this year. I’m keeping a notebook of our meetings (our first one is tonight), I’ll let you know how it goes!
Seems like these could have been our goals for 2005-2008! I’m beginning to realize change is a hard thing. Please, Lord Jesus, change us, mold us into the family that you want to be. A family that glorifies you!
