hmm, 2015
i do not make new years resolutions. i appreciate people who do. i don't have anything against them. i'm not typically a goal setter or dreamer. never have been. am i lame?
i do think about my life and things i hope may change. so i am thoughtful about life i guess. i just don't declare anything big really.
for the past few years i have had a theme for the year. last year was Freedom & Identity. i worked, prayed hard for freedom from the sin that entangled me for too many years. i also worked to make sure i find my identity in Christ....not my pants size. good grief.
i have absolutely come a LONG way. i am so thankful. i'm not perfect. it's a daily prayer and keeps me seeking His face. but i am in a much better place moving into 2015 than i was 2014. amen.
this year has brought some fun changes. my favorite is G.
i LOVE that he can talk to me. i knew this would be my favorite time of parenting. for 2+ years i wondered what he was thinking. now i can ask!! i typically get a response (not too different from what jay would say...) when i ask what he's thinking about..."uhh, trucks, trains, lions..." that's about normal.
he says and does things that wipe me out. he is loving and fun. but he has his moments too. monday i am convinced he was trying to get on my nerves. he wasnt just asking "why?" about everything...he would sing it..."why cant i open the window?" imagine him singing this......100x.
i started doing Adoption Home studies. this is TOO MUCH FUN. i love getting to walk through this part of life with couples. it never fails to bless me. and i always want to be best friends with the couples after going through the process. yeah, i'm strange.
speaking of adoption, i haven't heard from Gs birth mom in over a year. makes me sad. but i did email her yesterday with TONS of updates and pictures. i always offer facetime or ask if she'd like some of his school projects. i keep all of them in case she ever wants to see his handiwork. :)
he is such a delight. i know she'd enjoy him so much. how could she not?? i know when the time is right she'll want to "meet" him (whether through more emails or pictures or however!) and i will be excited for her to experience G. he is one of a kind!
i wish i had a fun topic to blog about. i dont really.
i love to read blog posts (and books) by shauna niequist. my goal in life is to be more like her. i know, she's not Jesus...but she is SO FUNNY, real, smart, fun, creative and interesting. after i read a post of hers i feel like i've just hung out with a friend. that is so cool to me.
maybe that can be a goal of 2015. blog more often and make people feel like they've spent time with a friend :)
i'll try!
