So I changed our blog look for the new year too. This one reflects both my love of simplicity, and my inability to do anything fancier. Only now, if I try to put the title back up, the writing runs smack across my forehead. Not pretty. If I had some options for good family pictures, I would try another, but I'm still amazed we survived our last photo shoot and made it out alive with this one. Maybe I will put up just a picture of the kids....at a later time, with the title. For now, I HAVE TO GET OFF THIS COMPUTER AND DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. You know anyway, we're just here, doing our best to be Keeping up with JOTSC.
********************************************************************************
For the new year, I feel quite convicted about some things I need to change, accept, and surrender. I have allowed some areas of immaturity to go free because it's easier to stay put than to grow and ridiculous justifications for bad behavior are always easy to conjure up. I know I've got some habits and thought patterns that need modifying. I yearn to be a new creation in Christ, and I need to spend some time contemplating what that may mean for my life in 2009 as I search the direction He would have me to go. I believe this will be a big year for us. I don't want to take my responsibilities before Him too lightly or miss out on what He has in store.
With that, I'm signing off for a few days to take personal inventory and listen rather than speak.....
Hope you have a very nice weekend.

ooo, I like.
I put the title together with the picture using my 'paint' program - super high tech ;-)
i like it! and i love that picture of you guys!
Enjoy your time to contemplate and take personal inventory.
I do have to say that, if you can contemplate anything serious while raising and home schooling 5 children, you are truly WONDER WOMAN!! :-)
First of all I like the new look :) and the picture is great. And it sounds like you are off to a good start for 09......
I'm glad you put this photo on, also! It shows you all in a "happy place"--and that's how you always want to think of your loved ones! Plus, you're all just so darn cute! Gotta show it off!
glad you joined the rest of us in a new look for a new year! =) Simple is good - and a great pic too!
