I found this survey on-line and had the kids fill it out on New Year's Day....but then our life got in the way of blogging! 2012 was definitely a fun-filled year. I thought this would be fun to look back on one day.

Josiah: That things can be harder than they look but worth the effort.
Andi: Wow, how do you narrow it down to one??
I don't need to worry. God IS going to provide for my every need.
(I'm still working on that one!)
Chad: That I still have a lot to learn.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of your thoughts --- many of them are a good challenge to us all! Andi-- wish you were here and I could spontaneously plan something to take you away and help you relax! :) Hugs! Jane~
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like we have a lot in common Andi. I am going to remember to pray for you more this year. I am so thankful that this fall was so special for your precious children. Praying this spring is just as special. Our girls miss Ecuador so much. It is such a special little town. Your greatest lessons learned are so of my own...and yet something I still am no where close to fully living out day to day.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with being spontaneous, as long as it's my idea. :I
