Romans 12:9-12

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

2010.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! My new years was interesting to say the least... Started out pretty good. Me and Jonny met up with some friends and went and ate at Fuzzys- some taco place. I had never eaten there before and I was not impressed- it was just ok but the company was great! American Airlines Center was having this outdoor concert thing. They had a bunch of bands (never heard of most of them) and a bunch of food and drinks and stuff outside the Center. They were also going to have fireworks too. We ate kinda early and didn't wanna stand outside in the freezing cold for hours so we drove to Dallas and we decided to just chill at a pub for awhile... Well that didn't work out so well. It was closed to reservations only. So we ended driving around Dallas forever trying to decide what to do. We had 2 cars. We decided to park and do the American Airlines thing. The girl car parked and walked to the party thing but the guys didn't wanna stay. They just dropped Rj off and picked me up. So Me, Jonny, Brad, Andrew, and Stephen left. Me in a car full of funny boys= entertaining! We then drove around some more trying to decide where we were going next. We ended up in Keller hanging out with some of Brads roommates. It was pretty fun. Just ate some food and hung out. We did sparklers at midnight! I am sad that I didn't get to spend the rest of the night with the girls- I missed them but it was a good night none the less!



So Normally I don't make New Years Resolutions (or atleast not seriously) but this year I would like to set some goals. I am very excited about this coming year! I have 4 goals:

1. Run a half Marathon. I am training for the Cowtown in February! I am so excited... I am doing well on the training so I hope I will pull through!


2. Find a Church home. Ever since me and Jonny have moved back home we have been attending the Church on Rush Creek (the church we grew up in). And although we LOVE this church and is so important to us, we feel God is calling us elsewhere. Rush creek played a huge role in our relationship and has helped shape us in so many ways. We have made lifelong friends there and has grown us in the Lord tremendously. We will forever hold it dear to our heart. We want to get plugged into a small group where we can fellowship and learn from other married couples. We really want to be mentored by an older and wiser couple! We also want to serve somewhere in the church!


3. Tithe. Me and Jonny are horrible at this. We really have been convicted about this and have been trying to do better. God is working on us! We pray that we will continue to work hard at this and give back what God has given to us!


4. Sponsor a Child. We want to give monthly to a child in need or an organization that helps in places overseas! We have been praying about this a lot and are gonna make a decision about where God wants us to give by the end of this month.


These are more of convictions than resolutions but I pray that whatever comes this year, me and Jonny will trust in Him and His provision. God is working in our marriage and we are excited to see where the Lord takes us!
