A New Year!....just 13 days late

I am just caught in a whirl wind lately. I feel that life is just flying by. I am enjoying it all and remembering each moment, but it is all to fast. With school, baby, husband, friends and at times God (yeah thats all backwards!) I am having an out of body experience. My heart feels it all but my mind is not absorbing anything. Anyhow just giving you guys a reference of where I am at right now. 

Terra, I am going to respond to your post which was a long long time ago. I know that I shared with Terra when she was here how last year I made a New Year's Prayer "Resolution" (it wasn't a resolution just a prayer for the year). My prayer was that God would make me more mature all around. Whatever form that took I trusted that he was going to provide a backbone and peace for me. Reflecting on last year I can see many areas and events where that prayer was answered. So, starting this new year I am going to do the same thing. My prayer is that God transforms who I am now into a mother. That sounds weird to write and re-read. I do not feel like I have it in me now to be a mother and I am going to need that transformation in order to take on that task that is on its way. So if you guys could please pray for me on that specific front that would be fantastic!

I am excited to be reading scripture with you guys (Al and Terra). Not going to lie though I was not excited to start over in Judges! I loved reading through Joshua and Judges is not so easy to understand. I think maybe going through it a second time will help. I can hardly read through the book without stumbling on the names of people and places. Ask Brad he just laughs at my fatal attempt to pronounce a name such as Simmamucuison. Ok I made that up, but it all looks like that to me. 

Love you guys and I am interested to hear what you guys think about Judges. Please enlighten my feeble mind.
