{ Word of 2014.....}

The other day D and I were driving and I was talking about something and all of a sudden I knew that my word for 2014 should be

S t r o n g e r

it seemed fitting for every area of my life

I am kind of a passionate person when it comes to 

family home and faith

{in case you haven't figured that out  yet;)

and more now than ever we need to BE STRONGER in our homes

as parents 

as a generation children are lazier, are given everything, think they are entitled to everything

don't have to work for much

spend to much time on their devices without being present to whats around them or with what really matters 

we have to be stronger if we want our youth to make it when they leave home and go out into the world it won't do them any favors thats for sure..

They need to be STRONGER inside where it matters 

and I can do my part in helping by

Building a STRONGER foundation at home

a s t r o n g e r mind, body and spirit in every way

I can be stronger than my excuses 

I can be a stronger voice in what I stand for and I can be stronger at standing up for what I do believe

because

Sometimes we forget that 

..."it never gets easier..... we just get stronger"

SO this year carrying on with last years GOALS and resolutions will be the same

To be stronger in every area of every goal I had last year for myself and my family  

to be a BETTER ME 

to be fully present and 

really really listen to my children, my husband and their needs

to be what they need me to be by being stronger...inside happier and stronger together as a family..

"LIFE'S LESSONS MAKE US 

S T R O N G E R"

Its true I feel like that the older I get the more I understand that they do make us stronger and they are all for a reason no matter what trial, what blessing, what person we come in contact with its all for a reason.... and sometimes it makes us think.......

 Perhaps I am stronger than I think. 

We all are no matter what life throws at us. 

 "Life is a struggle, but every lesson learned is Gods way of helping you grow stronger."

So for 2014

S t r o n g e r

braver, smarter 

"Our family is a circle of strength and love. With every birth and union it grows. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger."  -

I'm stronger because I had to be. I'm smarter because of my mistakes. I'm happier because I have overcome the sadness I've known and I'm wiser because I have learned from my life.

 You're braver than you believe, 

and stronger than you seem 

and smarter than you think. 

- Christopher Robin

 

Here's to a STRONGER 2014 for us all:)
