Hello everyone, Happy New Year. It has been a couple of days since my last post. Let me get you caught up from the last post: my daughter is still sick, her therapies have been canceled due to Christmas and New Years (which gives us a break to work on all the homework they give us and gives me a chance to get the house organized). Bella is starting to talk a little more; using the words she knows real well with combining them with other words she has been picking up. Bella is chewing her food better while she eats. My husband and I are so proud of her and to see how far she has come from 2015 being in the NICU for 71 days to a full-fledged two-year old.
In 2018, I am expecting great things from God to happen in my life, my marriage, my daughter, my husband, in my church faith-family, and all the other people in my life. I just wanted to share some of my new years resolutions with you:
- As a mom
- Start teaching her about Jesus (reading devotionals on daily basis again, watch veggie tales with her, and pray with her)
-
- Set a better example of eating healthier (she eats her veggies-I need to cook more veggies than just the ones I know that she will eat.)
- Make her feel special every day
- Try to start potty training
- As a Wife
- Pray for my husband daily
- Lift my husband up when he is down
- Pray scriptures over him
- Try to do something special for him once a week of some sort
- Speak positively towards him
- Help him whenever he needs help
- For Myself
- Make it a priority to have my quiet with the Lord every day
- Try to get healthier: lose weight, eat better
- Do more things for myself: nails, read a book
- Quit being hard on myself on certain things
- Try to keep house clean and organized
What are some of your resolutions for the new year? As a mom? As a wife? For yourself? I hope that you have a blessed 2018 and that you stay expecting for God to do something throughout the year.
Love, Amanda
