Eleven Things…

That I am looking forward to in 2011!!

  1. Disney World – The Reeders will take our first EVER family trip to Orlando in a few weeks… SO EXCITED!!
  2. Charleston, SC with my Best Girl – Em made SC Honors Elementary Chorus so we get to enjoy a long weekend in one of my favorite places… I heart the Holy City!
  3. Marching my way to Fitness – Going to participate in another Daniel Fast coming soon, and thinking about joining Weight Watchers! Taking steps, making strides… This year, it’s all about the “little wins” for me.
  4. Going “Deeper Still” in my walk with Christ. Developing a reading list (The Bible being first, of course!) right now.  Look for details in a week, or so.  Any/all suggestions appreciated! :-)
  5. Armed and Dangerous Retreat – The Lovely Ladies at Leading and Loving It are pulling together an AWESOME retreat for Pastor’s Wives and Women in Ministry coming up in May… Nashville will NEVER be the same!  (Have you registered?!?!)
  6. Family Vacation at Sunset Beach – I love my big ole family and (thanks to Santa) our yearly tradition will happen again this year. Can’t wait for a week of sun and fun with the Holladays!
  7. Date Nights with my KISA – We made it a goal last year to be more intentional about spending time “just the two of us” at least bi-weekly.  It has become one of my favorite past-times! I am very  much looking forward to continuing these special nights in 2011!
  8. New and Improved Family NightsI am going to adopt the “less is more” theory this year.  Instead of planning all-out parties, I am looking for special treats and projects that we can work on each month.  Maybe still with a theme, but more centered around QUALITY time without all the bells and whistles.
  9. My 40th Birthday – Oh, yeah! That’s right! Dear Lordy, I’m turning 40… but I am MORE than okay with it because my plan is to be “Forty and Fabulous”!!
  10. Taking my ministry a “whole notha level” – At home, at CLC, at PDCF, in my community… God has given me such great places to make Him known and shine my light! So excited to be part of these ministries and I know God has BIG PLANS for them all… Can’t wait to see what He has in store!!
  11. Experiencing a life full of WONDER and JOY! – That’s what Chris and I have decided is our “theme” for 2011! As we anticipate NEW HOPE for this NEW YEAR, I am asking Jesus to “make all things new” in such a way that it seems as though I’m experiencing it for the first time.  Fresh love, Fresh faith, Fresh vision, Fresh attitude, Fresh joy!! BRING IT ON!!!

What are you excited about, or gearing up for in the New Year?
