Make Good Choices, one day at a time!

With the new year finally here I find myself thinking about all of the many things I want to do this year.  I have scraps of paper in several notebooks with jotted down ideas, to-do lists, projects and dates of upcoming events.  I feel like my hand is involved in a lot of areas that I am responsible for yet, where do I begin?  My husband, Clay, is the youth minister and I'm involved with the children's ministry plus homeschooling our boys, taking care of our home and the countless projects I would love to tackle.  It feels a little overwhelming at times to look at everything I'm doing or am supposed to be doing.  So, I'm discovering that I really need to make better use of my time and seeking God in my daily routine before it even begins.  There are times I'm great at spending time with God in the mornings and then something happens or life happens and screws up my routine and BAM, my special time with just me and God is out the window.  I think the my "motto" for this year is going to be:  Make Good Choices, one day at a time!  Today I spoke those words aloud several times when deciding what to eat and how to react (which I may have failed in that area today) and how to spend my time.  Each day is brand new and I may need a do-over several times a day.  I want to cut myself a break and change a little at a time so that I can sustain the changes.  I'm gonna stick with my motto and hope the other areas will fall into place.  


Here are a few things I did accomplish today:


-Spent most of the afternoon running errands with my man!!
-Ate a healthy lunch (the evening was kinda bad in that area)
-Played a family game with my whole family.
-Did the dishes
-Worked on scheduling for youth ministry and went through mail.
-Ordered some books.
-Made ham and beans for dinner tomorrow night.


It was a good day!
