New Year...New Goals

So it's a new year 2009..this is a big year for Jeph and I. We are going to have our first child in May. While thats exciting it's also scary. This is the first time we have been in this position and although we wanted it and are ready for it, we are both feeling a little inadequate. We are so thankful we are in this position but are also aware of how much we have to do/finish, and of course the financial aspect.
We know that no one is ever really ready for kids but we just never thought we'd(mainly me,LeAnne) feel so overwhelmed.
We have our project lists and plans laid out and we are taking things one day at a time. With love and support of our friends/family, and God's help we will make it! :)
We are so glad to be on this journey...no matter what comes our way.

So, since it's the new year Jeph and I have a few new goals:
*Serve God everyday with all our hearts, in all we do.
*Daily Devotionals more regularly
*Exercise 4-5 days a week(more regularly)
*Tithe at least 10% every months consistently
*pay off debt
*get our savings going again
*family car w/4 wheel drive
*no matter what happens with any relationship/situation do the right thing, even
if it means being on our own.

Some of these goals are ongoing to a point every year...this year a lot of things/priorites have changed. We want to set a good example for our son Aiden in all we do, and we want to do the best parenting job we can. We want to stand up for whats right and be more bold in our faith even if that means going against the popular choice.
We are so thankful for another year and this year God has given us the best gift of all...we hope we honor him in all we say and do.
It's gonna be fine in 2009!!!!!!!!
