I'm up for the challenge!

...so yesterday Craig started a new sermon series at hope about the new year and challenged us all to instead of making new years resolutions, focus on one word for the new year. Now, I've read several blogs, and facebook posts and many of you are already doing it. I've decided to try it, and see where it leads me this year. So are you ready to hear my word for the year??

CALM

Yep, that's it. Those of you who know me well enough know that I am a high strung, anxious, worry stricken, and NOT calm person. I know part of that is just me...and my personality...but part of my anxiety can be crippling at times, and that isn't healthy. It takes a lot of the joy out of my life at times, and sometimes it keeps me from living in the moment.

So, I'm going to try...with all of my might to work on this word. CALM. In fact, if you're reading this and you happen to be around me when I am not calm, then I want you to remind me of this. Please! Because I know that I can't do this alone. It'll take God, and my friends and family to help me...and hopefully in 2012 I can pick a new word to focus on. Always moving forward!


That being said, today has been pretty calm with a nice snow day. It's so quiet and peaceful outside. Here's a look at our house in the snow this morning. I have to say it's pretty cool waking up to your very own first house and taking a snow picture. :)

This is the only time that I've liked this tree! It looks pretty today!


And our snowman dressed at Michael Jackson...check out the glove!


Check out us posing with our piece of work!

Hope y'all had a great day.

Much love,

Calm Katie
