As most people are doing today, I've been thinking about the new year ahead. Over the past couple of days I had formed some thoughts about what I want the year 2010 to be like. Some words came to mind. Patience, discipline, flexibility, humility, and the biggie for me, ACCEPTANCE. This is where I am going to focus my energies and prayers this year. ACCEPTING what is. If I can find victorious living with this one area, the others will fall into place. ACCEPTANCE won't come without connection to the Lord. It will not happen without steadfast prayer, intentional obedience, and transformed thinking (Romans 12:1-2). But, as I walk each day, ACCEPTING what today is and brings, I know that I will turn the corner and run straight into contentment, the companion to ACCEPTANCE. Glory! Bring on the day.

2 days late
I'm late on writing a happy birthday post to my sweet Maddie-girl. Madison Renee turned 9 on December 29th. Her birthday was such a happy day, coming on the tail end of many celebrations. One of the nicest things was that her cousins from Nebraska were able to share it with her, along with her good friend Nicole. My Maddie is the happiest, smiliest, most generous and king girl I know. She is messy and forgetful, intellient and head-strong. Her creativity and passion are foundations of her character. My life is a better life simply because she was born to me. She makes me smile, she challenges me, she tries my patience, she causes me to take life a little less serious - like she does. I love you, my darling Maddie-girl. You are the light of my life.
