A new year is coming

So where did the last one go? I thought I might make a list of what I've achieved this year to inspire me to bigger and better things next year.
Now. Lets see.

• I didn't get any fatter. I only got mildly thinner but at least no fatter.
• I survived having three teenagers in my house (sometimes four with the boyfriend included) withouth committing any murders.
• I am learning to live with the fact that my little girl has a steady boyfriend. EEEEK!
• I started a creative writing course. Just for me.
• I had moments of tolerance and patience and I think I've come a long way in stopping and thinking rather than just reacting. Just need to teach this skill to DD now!
• I feel that I have moved forward in my faith.
• I finally took the leap and started worship leading, and it wasn't scary! I'm loving it!
• I'm not beating myself up about past transgressions anymore and I'm well on the way to truly believing that I am forgiven. That giant leap required the love of a beautiful friend (thanks Jodi) and a lovely Christian counselor.
• My house is tidy most of the time!

So, that was this year. My aims for next year are:

• To write in my prayer journal and spend time reading the Lords word at least three times a week (not including church!)
• To finish my writing course, and maybe attempt something to be published.
• To support my family and help them to get to know the Lord as I do, without nagging, sulking or bribing (these methods I have tried already with limited success).
• To leave the above to the Lord and let him speak through me.
• Lose another 5kg.
• To appreciate the things I have and be grateful.
• To tell my family and friends that I love them, not just at Christmas time.

Right. I think thats enough. Should keep me busy for the year! I will check back in a few months and see how I am doing!
