New Journey Begins

Hello Friends,

2010 is a time for new beginnings and I have great expectations for this year. I just have to say I feel blessed to have been given 24 years of life! I have learned so many valuable lessons...quite a few the hard way. I used to think I knew everything. Now, I know that I know very little - and that is OK with me! The name Learning, Living, and Loving Life comes from what I want to do - Learn to live and love my Creator God who makes this life worth living and do whatever it takes to make him known! I know I'll stumble a little along the way, but that's ok!

Before I go any further I have to confess something - I'm not a great writer. Eloquence is not my middle name. I cannot guarantee that this blog will be typo-free. I will say, however, that I once took a "blogging" class in college. I don't really remember anything I learned, except that it was great for the GPA if you know what I mean.

Learning - This year, I want to learn to create good habits and self control so I'm starting off with January cleanse that will start this Saturday. I'm also attempting to work out 5 days a week - yikes! More details to come:)

Living - Another goal I set this year was read the Bible through in one year. I did this a few times years back, but I feel like I'm at the point in my life where I desire to know His Word so much more. It's January 7, so I'm just getting started in Genesis, but I'll let you in on a secret - I LOVE the Book of Genesis! The Bible stories that we learn as children teach you so much about God's promises and plan! And to tell you the truth, it's a comfort to know that the people in Genesis were not perfect! That's right folks Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, they all had their problems! What a relief! Also, a Genesis 18:16-33, the passage where Abraham pleads for Sodom is a very powerful passage...what a merciful God we have and how cool is Abraham! Anyway, I'm excited about this new adventure and hope and pray I can keep it up!

Loving - I just have to say that my husband Aaron has been the biggest blessing I could ever have. I can honestly say that I do not deserve him and my life would be incomplete without him. These past 2 years have been a blessing. He is my best friend and he makes me want to be a better person. We aren't perfect but I desire to be the wife that puts him first - something that I am working on this year!

Finally, I promise to be real with those who read this, to tell you when I mess up, not try to be who I'm not. I also will do my best to keep Learning, Living, and Loving Life.
