My weekend was wonderful.  I give the credit to God.  New Year's eve was just perfect-at home and alone.  Well, Chloe and a friend were there.  But as I tell you constantly, I was very tired and had prayed over and over that God would allow me some down time to get at least something done around my house, so that I could feel like I was contributing in some way to the betterment of my family.  (I know I'm so dramatic)  I cleaned out a few closets, and Mark painted the kitchen-RED!!  I love it!  Red is my favorite color.  I rested and I'm not proud to say I overate. 

I do give the credit to God, but I also thank God for Mark and his willingness to be there for me this weekend.  He painted the house, and helped clean out, and was there spending time with me, and it was huge for me.  My attitude this morning has been better and my spirits lifted, and I know alot of that was Mark and I being together. 

I don't really have New Year's resolutions 'cause I think they're sort of dumb.  I did have us say what we hoped to change as the New Year rang in, but I feel like my life is so dependent on God that when I resolve in myself to change, I always fail. 

I prayed this morning that God would give me some tangible hope and direction in and for my life.  I prayed that if I'm exactly where I should be, that He'll give me the help to be the best I can be.  If he wants a change, that He'll make a change.  Whatever He wants, just be there like He said He'd be, and I KNOW He will.

Proverbs 2

 1-5 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life.
Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;
   set your heart on a life of Understanding.
That's right—if you make Insight your priority,
   and won't take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,
   like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;
   you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God.

 6-8 And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free,
   is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding.
He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well,
   a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere.
He keeps his eye on all who live honestly,
   and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones.

 9-15 So now you can pick out what's true and fair,
   find all the good trails!
Lady Wisdom will be your close friend,
   and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion.
Good Sense will scout ahead for danger,
   Insight will keep an eye out for you.
They'll keep you from making wrong turns,
   or following the bad directions
Of those who are lost themselves
   and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed,
These losers who make a game of evil
   and throw parties to celebrate perversity,
Traveling paths that go nowhere,
   wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

 16-19 Wise friends will rescue you from the Temptress—
   that smooth-talking Seductress
Who's faithless to the husband she married years ago,
   never gave a second thought to her promises before God.
Her whole way of life is doomed;
   every step she takes brings her closer to hell.
No one who joins her company ever comes back,
   ever sets foot on the path to real living.

 20-22 So—join the company of good men and women,
   keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths.
It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land,
   the women with integrity who will last here.
The corrupt will lose their lives;
   the dishonest will be gone for good.
