January 2011

New year. New quarter. New Month.

There is so much to be excited for in January 2011. I have some changes in my year. Starting in February, I will get to be home with Finn an extra day. That's exciting because he is really so much fun these days. I like to call him my lil' sponge because he just soaks in so much.

I spent some time recently putting together my goals for the year. Once I got them together, I had lunch with my accountability partner. We discussed each others goals and how we can work together. It's so wonderful to have someone who is invested in where you want to go. And same for me to be invested in someone else and where they want to go. 

I challenge you if you haven't already - write up your goals for the year and have ask someone to be your partner for the year. It's really nice to have someone outside of the family to do this. Take it from me, the only way to make sure you reach your goals is by writing them down and having some accountability. There are actually statistics around this concept...

"Psychologists say that 95% - 97% of the people in the world do NOT have written goals and fail, while 3-5% have written goals and succeed."

I would like to be that percentage that succeed. How about you?

So cheers to a new year! Here's to being balanced this year. I will be posting my goals just so you can see how I do mine. Hope it will help you. 

Much love!

Snow day 2011!!

Over the last few years, I've had many times that I want to keep etched in my brain. This morning was one of those. We went to bed with no snow and woke up with close to 7 inches. It's cold, beautiful, and exciting outside. So we got all bundled out and went exploring! Here's some videos and pics. Hope you all are staying warm and enjoying the memories with family on this snow day!




Checking things out
 Guess he felt like sitting
Daddy and son just hanging out!

What am I listening to?

Confession: Sometimes I get obsessed with songs. I listen to one song over and over. I thought maybe I could share those songs with you. Today it is "Revelation Song". It totally puts me at ease. Here is a video of Kari Jobe singing and the lyrics below. Sit back, take a deep breath, lift your hands in worship, and relax.



Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's Mercy Seat
[Repeat 2x]

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!
Yeah!

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,
Yeah

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!
Yeah!

Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come,
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore YOU…

(Chorus) (Repeat at a cappella)

Come up lift up His Name
To the King of Kings…
We will adore YOU Lord…
King of heaven and earth
King Jesus, King Jesus
Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!
Majesty, awestruck Honor
And Power and Strength and Dominion
To You Lord,
To the King, to King
To the King of Glory
