More for 2010

Along with my Thirty for Thirty plan I have some other ideas in the works or rather other's ideas I'm running with.  

I plan to 'blog' a pic I snap every day for the next 364 days of 2010.  
That we will call Project 365

I also want to mark this year with a verse and word(s) that I commit to hold onto.  

My verse will be: 


Romans 12:12, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. "

My word(s) will be:
Peace & Joy!

I want my days to marked with PEACE to know the Lord walks before me, after me, with me & carries me.  I want to live a life that places Jesus first, Others second, Yourself (me) last.  


So here is a pic from New Years of Bella & one I shot today of Caleb.



With Love, Peace & Joy!

Thirty for Thirty



I turned THIRTY on Monday.  Whoa!  Not that thirty is this huge number...it's just that, this particular birthday crept up on me.  The past few years have been littered, sprinkled with a lot of maybes, eventually's & sometime soon's. So this will be THAT year.  That year that I stretch, grow & preserve because I will have a plan.  A thirty for thirty.  So here it is with all it's accountability glory!

1.  Read the entire Bible in 90 days, 
starting January 1...today!

3.  Lose at least 30 pounds.

4. Write the little girl we sponsor through 
World Vision, once a month.

each with Caleb, Bella, 
my Mom & sister, Jackie 
& all by myself.

Holy Spirit living in me.

faithful in prayer." on the hard days.

26.  Donate my hair to Locks of Love.


27. Take a family vacation, by car, that requires
