Resolutions 2006

Okay, okay...I know I am far behind in "resolutions" etc. I do feel I should be excused as I have to handle 2 adults and 2 children at home.

Resolution No 1: Be on top of things, esp. making resolutions!

I have never been a New Year sort of person, in fact I recall clearly that each New Year eve, I will wake up annoyed at the noises of revellers and fireworks. New Year's day is a good day to sleep in.....(not anymore)

Resolution No 2: Be Active!

Okay, I too am pressured by the yummy moms around me to hit the GYM scene. Doesn't everyone want to be a Supermodel? Anyone who says that they are "happy as they are" will surely receive a "look" from the audience. I do want to be fitter, maybe shed a few of those wobbly bits and also strengthen my joints (my body has never been the same since childbirth). When the day comes, I will keep you informed.....it's a resolution, right?

Resolution No 3: Be Content!

It'd like to teach myself not to be influence by the advertisement catalogues and stop dreaming up "improvements" for our lives and homes. It will be a sensible aim to teach my girls this same value. To be happy and proud of what little we have, as in reality, there are many who have less than little. Also to be reminded that what we have can be taken away as well. All we have is only by the blessing of GOD and not of our own merits.

Resolution No 4: Be kind to one another!

Honestly, to be kind to my husband and our marriage. There's so much around me that builds me up to be "better than Thou" in attitude to my better half. The feminist movement, the independant thinking, working as well as the equality concept does not reinforce the basic GOD given and biblical principle that my WHOLE BEING is here for the better of my husband. For him to strive higher and better in the community, in GOD's will as well as a father/husband/son/friend in all his relationships. The more I read God's word, the more I realise how far I have fallen behind. I aim to work hard in making my marriage one that is honouring to GOD..... and that is a lot of work!!!!

Resolution No 5: Closer to HIM day by day.

The usual, read the bible more, pray more and serve others more. One challenge is maybe to do a journal of all the readings for this year...which is promoted in our Church. We might even try to do family devotions with the girls now...maybe once a week to start with.

Resolution No 6: $$ Matters

My motto: Avoid the shops like the plague! As long as I am away from the shops, nothing gets spent. Even the sales don't SAVE us $. Have learnt that the hard way!!!

Resolution No 7: Kids R Us!

Alex and myself are definately into the ministry of Parenting. We'll be spending time reading and praying about it. Our major project are our two monkeys and how we bring them up. But meanwhile, we are keen to encourage other parents "Along the Virtuous Way".
