Here we go 2010!

Sometimes all it takes for me to put things into perspective is to watch a movie. Sounds crazy huh? P.S. I Love You did just that for me last night. BJ's brother David is here visiting for the week and they had taken over the TV to watch football every night. So last night I let my bedroom become my 'get away' while I watched this movie and balled my eyes out and also laughed really hard.

This past year 2009 has brought so much joy and happiness and I can only hope and pray that 2010 does the same. God has brought us so far this past year. Starting with having our biggest blessing ever Daivney Rose. He has allowed for BJ to get promoted which we had been praying about for quite a while. He has put me at peace that being a SAHM and that it is where I need to be. There is so much more that God has blessed us with this past year the list just goes on and on.

I tend to be a like the character 'Holly' a lot of times. Worrying about our 'future plans', getting stressed out about the here and now times. I realize that I need to stop doing that because only God can control both the future and the now. It's in His hands. There is so much I can say on this but basically I just want to say that there are so many lives out there that are taken away so quickly and we have to realize that we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. I need to realize this everyday. Don't take our beautiful daughter Daivney for granted, don't take family for granted, and most of all, don't take BJ and his love for me for granted. For tomorrow does not guarantee that I can tell him I love him then. When there is a phone call...listen and enjoy, when there is laughter, laugh along, and when there is a kiss or a hug....embrace..embrace...embrace and savor those moments.

So my resolution for 2010....I need to stop being the worry wart I have been for the past 25 years. It is in God's hands and I need to leave it there. He has me in the palm of His hand and He will not leave me nor forsake me. God I give this year 2010 to you....help me to love more, listen more talk less, and enjoy all your blessings and give you the glory!
