Happy New Year!!

Verse of the day:
What's left of the people of Judah will put down roots and make a new start. Isaiah 37:31

I'm back! And so happy to be here. I've found I don't read my bible much when I don't have to, so you guys are my accountability partners.

Today is to make a new start. To forgive and forget things that have happened (within reason. It's fun reminiscing!)

A couple of people on blogs I read have decided they didn't want to do resolutions this year. I understand that - I wasn't quite sure whether I wanted to or not either! But a couple of days ago, as I sat in a cafe, God just put a few in my head. Here they are:

1. To be more like Jesus
2. To gain full control of my finances (I'm following Dave Ramsey!)
3. To finish my novel by September (which I have no idea how I'm going to pull off....)
4. To go to my first writer's conference this year, and
5. To pray for my future husband every day

I like that at least a couple of them aren't pass/fail, so I won't feel really bad if I fail them.

Also, if God wants these things, he will help me. but if he has other plans, so be it. I'm not going to be upset because he's doing something else.
