January

This year I make no resolution. I think this is the year I am going to try to go into covenant with God and just make serious agreements with Him about my life, choices, and plans.
Scary, huh.

But that is where I am. I feel that Cheyne and I are seriously beginning to live the values we have held near and dear for so long. I feel like my kiddos are in a good place, doing well, and growing into incredible folks daily, and I feel that this is going to be a good year.
It all comes down to living simply, investing in relationships, and surrendering my heart to God daily.
I also have to be more open about my struggles and pain. I am very attached to "Who You Think I Am" and "not being the crazy girl". Recently a friend's revelation about observing some recurring depression traits I thought I was masking made me realize how closed off I can be, how unreachable in a way. I don't ever want to be the one with the probolem, or the situation, so I suffer a lot in silence.
So this is the new year, and NOW IS THE TIME.
I am going to live deeply with God and my community.

And open my heart.

And tell the truth.

And love my people.
