                                                                  Bring it 2013 !!!!!!!!

Mama Pearl ............is ready for any and all blessing's that 2013 will bring................ I have been reading blogs and resolutions and that sort of thing..which brings me to PONDER ...hmmmmmm what are my resolutions?... (which are kind of ....mmmm Promises to yourself ) And when we break a promise to ourselves we just kind of brush it off ...(because we dont matter sort of deal) So that got me thinking....... SINCE 2012 I began to MATTER ...YOU know ME DAY FRIDAY's and the whole putting myself on the list... I think that my resolution (well first little one) Will be keeping my promises to MYSELF> I am such a good promise keeper to everyone else . BUT if I cant do for me ... I am like ...eeeeeeeeeeeeh .. I will do that later sort of thing...... SO that is easy enough.. CONSIDER myself just as important as I do anyone else.. I sure fell off that BOAT somewhere .. Making myself Last in everything.........


That is my youngest ... She deserves the best ME that I can be ...dont cha think... My little Kenzie
(help me JESUS.. when she reads this she will say UH>>>MOM I am 14.. I am not LITTLE anymore !!!! Dont they get it ... she could be 30 and she will always be my little girl..............

 
 I think next up on my resolution list .. Is Take TIME ... to just soak in life more.. NOT be so BUSY!!!  Trying to slow down some... More time for the stuff that matters sort of thing.. I have three off to college and one left at the house.. I want to spend all the time with her before she fly's the coop one of these days on her own JOURNEY to college .. .. So..... TIME for myself and the ones that matter will be made priority .. I am pretty good at keeping that one ..BUT I noticed this year.. I felt a little pulled in several directions ...............

 
That is my twins .. They are just as beautiful inside as they are outside...
 
 
This is my only son ...He is as beautiful on the inside as he is outside too.
Very blessed ........
 

And  another resolution is to be a blessing to others. ... When all the little ones in my family walk into a room... Just shower them with love and excitement and hang up their pictures they give me and show them 100% that they matter. A book by Toni Morrison says that you can change a childs life by how they enter a ROOM.. SO I want to be that AUNT , Sister, MOM that sort of thing... I have been doing that and I think that Is why I am so blessed in that area... SO that will be one thing I will keep on doing in 2013 .... I have alot of little blessings in our family. New babies born, cousins you name it . .Just goes on and on with the new life that was brought in to our family..

 Well.. I too want to do the exercise thing and make 2013 Healthy .. I just shutter to type it just incase I fail ...........BUT I do want to make that effort.. I read somewhere when you do something 14 days in a row .. It becomes a HABIT lol..........SO maybe this whole excersise thing will take off LOL ....... We shall see...............SO for now I am sticking to what I know ............TODAY plan to walk 2 miles............ WHEW hewwwwwwww... Happy Resolutions .... What will you be doing... OH and to do more furniture projects this year.. That is my crafty promise to myself................. LOVE and HUGS .............Pearl ................aka ...(Sherry)

  1. Hi Sherry! What beautiful children you have! Just like you....inside and out! (you look so young to have 3 children in college) I love this posting.....TO me, there seems to be something different about this New Year 2013. Maybe, it has to do with getting older? or knowing the spiritual life we live on this earth and what we are seeing.. JESUS is coming soon! Or maybe I know there is going to be a lot of CHANGE in my LIFE this year, I didn't quite expect.....where GOD leads me, I will follow. Anyway, my prayers are with you and your wonderful family! You are a blessing to me, and like you, I want to be All that I can be IN CHRIST! Happy New Year 2013! Prayers and blessings~~~~Roxie

  3. You have one gorgeous family! I bet you are so very proud of them all. I'm sure they are just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside :)

    I like to make goals for the coming year, but I don't call them resolutions because that word has such a negative connotation! We should strive for our goals, but not beat ourselves up if it takes a little longer to achieve them. I think everyone should take it easier on themselves in the coming year and not be their own worst critic!

  4. hey sweet girl

    great things to aim for.....more time for others, less over committing, (my words, not yours) =). good for you.

    and just so you know....it takes 30 days to develop a habit....
    that is how I started my discipline of being in the word each morning before I do ANYTHING else. It was a year ago October I started, and have not missed a day. And what a blessing it has been...to my and I hope to others...
    My exercise routine went right out the window, but I will get back into the swing one of these days.
    Cannot do it all, all the time.....
    I also am slowing down. Sometimes the Lord has to 'knock us down a bit" to get us to listen.....so I am resting, and seeking Him, and following one day at a time.

    hugs sweet girl
    Beautiful family.

  5. Your resolutions make me think about looking at my own.....besides the usual lose weight and exercise more. As I clean the house and prepare for a New Years' gathering of my favorite friends, I'll be reflecting today about which direction I want to head in. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Happy New Year to you and yours.

  7. Wow... you already wrote MY Resolution List for me! The very same things I've been contemplating and Meditating on in fact! I'm definitely a Work in Progress but I did accomplish some major Goals and Promises to Self in 2012 and so I Plan to do the same in 2013 and keep the Momentum going. What a Beautiful Family you have... I see that you already know that and to realize our Blessings is half the battle of dealing with the struggles of Life more effectively and in the right Attitude and Spirit.
