Faith, Love, Hope

I have to admit...I have failed.  When I first thought I would start a blog I really wanted to it to be about my walk with the Lord and what I was learning.  I just hate soaking up the sermons on Sunday and then come Wednesday forgetting what was said.  I really wanted this to be a place where I could look at the year and be able to re-count the whole year and the lessons I learned.  I really wanted 2009 to be the year that I really took up my cross to follow Him.  But alas, I have failed and have not dedicated this blog to that nor can I even say that I have spent time with my Lord on a daily basis.  

Needless to say, I NEEDED the sermon that was spoken today  - Pushing the "re-start" button.  I am admitting to the blog world (and all of my 1 maybe 2 readers) that I am officially pushing the button.  Desperately I want to strengthen my faith in the Lord.  With a new marriage, and an new found strength, I am starting a new chapter in my faith.  My goals are simple:
1.  Spend quality prayer time with the Lord every day.
2. Meditate on a chapter of the Bible weekly
3.  Finally finish "Purpose Driven Life"
4. Dedicate Sunday posts to what I've learned in my walk for the week.  
That's it - seems simple enough, BUT Lord knows how much I struggle with it.  So - please fellow blogger(s?) help keep me accountable, I need it!

I just love that the little one (the little GIRL!) is going to be coming into a home that is filled with a "restarted" mom :) She is going to be so loved by her mommy and daddy! In response to "failing"...I'll have you know that just because the word "God" wasn't used doesn't mean you weren't sharing about Him. Your blog tells about who you are and who you are LOVES the Lord.
