Ok, baby is sleeping so I have a few moments to do this! I wanted to do a quick recap of the year for myself to look back and remember. I also have loved the trend I have seen on other blogger friends pages where they choose a word for 2010..so here is both.

-Failure is a word a battle a lot. I feel like I fail all the time. The biggest thing I battled, and felt LIke I had failed at was giving birth. Any post partum that i had after having Addyson was in relation to having a c section. For the longest time I felt like i had failed.

35. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009
-I could write a book on this one. But the biggest thing I learned in 2009 was I learned how to be content. And it is the best feeling in the world. So many things fall into place, and I have gained a whole new persepective on life by getting this concept!
OK, now for my word for 2010.....its CREATE. I have always been a pretty creative artsy person. Grew up around music, arts, loved to color, design, paint, scrapbook..ect. but over the past decade those things kind of got put on the shelf as pursued other things. But I really feel that I have been building my role as a for now, stay at home mom, these things are starting to blossom again, and I am excited! I have lots of neat projects I am working on right now, and a few fun classes I am going to be taking over the next couple of months that i am really excited about! So as i walk this journey, I will try and post things as I learn and grow! But being creative isn't just in the tangible sense. I also want to create, a better home, filled with more love, security, joy, ect..for my hubby and my girl...I am so excited for this year and things to come. We have some big hurdles ahead that I am terrified of on some level, but I am trusting my KING as I know he will provide...and I will just pursue what he has called me to!

Fun! I like reading these :) I felt like you did... there was definite themes going on with the answers!
Create is a good one!
I feel the same... this year is daunting and scary in many ways! More reason to trust that our heavenly Father is providing for us and watching over us - in every detail of our lives! :)
