Where did it go?

How did this happen??

This year has once again flown by...

I haven't poured over blogs in such a long time and I am pretty sure I haven't blogged in ages either.. I tried, but never think anything I write to be any good so I am just gonna write and then hit publish - good enough or not..

2014 is fast approaching and I had a wonderful NY resolution to learn how to knit this year... I still am unable and attempts have not been made to try. I have a two year old who demands all my time and attention and a 6 year old who is growing up in what seems to be the back ground.  Mr 6 is now finished prep (for the second time) and I am quite sad about it.  Nothing stays the same forever and now my boy is growing up.  I am wishing Mr 2 would grow up as well but then I know that I will look back on this time and re-wish it all over again.

I am looking at 2014 with wistful eyes hoping and dreaming that it will be a year of change and a year of wonder and a year of simple living and restfulness.  However, that is just the same view I had this time last year I am sure.  Even though that may be the case I have to muster up every ounce of my willpower and hope and dream.  I will even state it here.

2014

Will be a year of change - for me personally in my walk with Jesus, in my role as a wife and my attitude toward mothering.

Will be a year of wonder - I will stop and smell the roses (or any flower I see) and I will marvel at what God has created for me to notice and see.

Will be a year of simple living - my house will get an overhaul and I will remove many things I don't need and say 'no' more often so I can focus on my family and their wellbeing.

Will be a year of restfulness - I will sit at the feet of Jesus more often, I will speak his name more often and I will rest in him more often.

AND

If I get the chance and time to do so, I will learn to knit.
