So it’s 2010. Or 0-10. Or 2KX, as Eric said the other day (you know, 2+K (for a thousand)+X (the Roman numeral for 10). <\/p>\n
Of course, I’m 5 days late writing anything about the turn of the year, really, but my in-laws have dial-up, so blogging at their house isn’t really possible. And yesterday I was finding my house again. And well, it’s already the fifth of January.<\/p>\n
Man, times flies these days.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m not sure I have a lot to say on the subject of the new year. 2009 was a blur of sleepless nights and baby milestones. But more than that, it was sort of a meandering year. Unfocused.<\/p>\n
Eric and I had a really good talk on New Year’s Eve (around 9 pm, shortly before we went to bed) about how it was a good year and all, but how we both feel sort of purposeless. Not that I’m discounting my role as a mommy. That’s not what I’m talking about. Nor do I mean the somewhat mundane realities of being a SAHM: the laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.<\/p>\n
I really have just felt, for a long time, that I have no idea where I’m going anymore. I’m not in academia anymore (and don’t really intend to go back), and that gave me something to work toward for a long time. Eric felt the same way. He doesn’t really have the drive and passion for his job that he once had. Our church home hasn’t really felt like home for a while either. But neither of us really have a sense for the direction God wants us to go or do or be. <\/p>\n
Of course, I’ve also been really lax on my bible reading and prayer time the last year. And my normally type-A personality has not really returned since the babies were born. So I’ve felt like I’m floundering a bit. <\/p>\n
And, even though I’m not one to make resolutions, I think I’ll just start at those two things. Retrain myself to be diligent in my time with God and in taking care of my house and kids. I’m working on creating a chore list for myself (daily, weekly, etc) since I tend to work best from lists (I love crossing things off!). And I’m using a neat website<\/a> I stumbled across the other day to help me take the time to read Scripture on a daily basis again. <\/p>\n And hopefully, 2010 will the year where God opens up a new and wonderful direction for my family.
