Changes

With a new year, comes new commitments, responsibilities and such. This year we are eating healthier. The kids are learning the difference between whole foods and bad foods. I have changed my diet and added exercise and I have lost 8lbs already. WAHOO!! The trip to Cabo San Lucas is great motivation. :) Shane will always be 6'3" and 140 lbs. My goal is to way less than him - again.
We have also started doing devotions on a regular basis. Keys for Kids is perfect for Brittyn and Spencer and they enjoy reading the Bible also. Yes, Spencer, ( 4 yrs old) can read and read well. I think he is reading as well as Brittyn at that age.
Recently, it has been brought to my attention - my focus. What is really important in my life. Since being married, a few thoughts have changed. Is CC music really something to argue over? Is it really "wrong" to wear pants to church? How much do we judge others by their appearences and not consider the inside. We don't know what God is doing in/with them. Are we focusing on the appearance (which may be deceptive) or are we , like Christ, focusing on the Heart. What verses are we taking out of context to "prove" our point? We still need to follow the Commandments the Lord hs given us. Our focus should be: Winning souls and worshipping Christ. Does it matter what they wear or their skin color or their lifestyles? I think we focus too much on little things that , in eternity, don't matter. Yes,I still agree with Baptist doctrines, but I think we need to re-evaluate what our purpose is. I think we judge people more than we know. This is something that I plan to work on. It will mean " looking at the big picture", keeping my comments to myself, consider others feelings first, and making sure I am following God's rules- not man's. I tend to get so focused on something that I lose sight of what is really important. Setting up the volleyball night for our church is something I struggle with now. I thought playing with church would be the same as playing on a league - it is not. I'm working on a different focus.
Wow, where did this "book" come from. I guess I need to blog more - so they are not so long. Austin is up - so I better get him fed and laundry finished. Does it ever end??? :) Who ordered all this snow? OH Yeah, and one last thing! How many tears were shed Sunday night, *sniff~sniff*. I so wanted to see Brady and Farve' in the Super Bowl.
