1. I did manage to keep one resolution this year- read my Bible all the way through. Thanks to Dave, who started me out with a plan, I got to June when my church started the Life Bible Journal study. It has been an adventure- one I plan on continuing.
2. I didn't manage to lose this last pesky 20 lbs. So that is a goal for next year. I have to get serious with the exercise or it won't happen.
3. I got a chance to speak with a dear friend this afternoon who got some great news! I have a sneaky feeling that 2009 is going to be really good to her- better even than 2008 was!
4. I do want to learn something in 2009, and that is not how to dread what is coming before it gets here. I need to learn to love the moment, enjoy the moment, and leave the "what ifs" for when they actually come about.
5. I also hope 2009 brings more child support! The ex is $15,000 behind- and doesn't even feel bad about it. Well, hopefully he will once he gets in court next week!
6. My alarm clock is still working well, and now we're going to try something new- the Saturday handyman! I'm trading him a Saturday of help around his house for a Saturday of help around mine! I think I'm getting the better deal- my house is bigger!
7. It has been so nice to not have to get the kids up and out the door in the mornings. I really wish school started an hour or two later than it does!
8. I'm looking back over 2008 and truly see it as a year of healing. It has brought me much happiness, and for that I thank God, my mom, my kids, and Scott.
9. I'm hoping 2009 is just as good- if not better! (Selfish? Maybe.)
10. My prayers are that all of you have a fabulous 2009, too!

Merry Christmas My Friends
I didn't even do a ten thought Tuesday this week- I don't think I even remember when Tuesday was this week! It is a whirlwind to Christmas and I'm so glad it is finally here! I do wish it lasted a little longer, though.
Monday night Scott came over for dinner. Savannah wanted to play games so we taught her how to play Rummy. After about 4 hands, she was bored and wanted Upwards. So we switched, but didn't keep score at that game (someone lost the rules and I forgot how you counted points!) Oh well, it is really more for her to learn words and how to spell anyway! Good thing, because she and Scott started "cheating" about half-way through- wanted to swap letters, kept looking when they were drawing.. it was really funny and just warms my heart to see them getting that close.
Yesterday I worked an extra 2 hours in the hopes I wouldn't be at work all day today. Which worked- we were done by 11am this morning! Yay! Mom's cooking at her house and I'm setting up stuff at mine for Christmas Eve tonight. Brandon has gone shopping with Scott- they're supposedly off buying me a present (isn't that sweet?) and Savannah is with my niece. So all is quiet here for a little bit. About 6pm, I'll have 15 people here for hors d'oeurves and drinks, then go to our 11:00pm candlelight service. I said I'd sing, so I have to be there early.
Tomorrow is the big day! I'm excited because the kids got exactly what they want (new cell phones) but I have them convinced that they don't. And my mom has exactly what she wants and doesn't know it either! I love it when Christmas works out that way! Since Scott, Brandon, Chris & Salina, my aunt and uncle, and my brother-in-law Jason all have to miss Christmas dinner tomorrow, we postponed it until Sunday. So we just get to be lazy after the present-opening! Yay!
Scott comes back from his family's on Saturday, so we decided to have our Christmas with him then. And with postponing Christmas dinner until Sunday, this is going to be a busy holiday! I'm just happy to be blessed with a wonderful family, great friends (including you all here) and a happy life.
Merry Christmas, wherever you are and whatever you're doing! May the peace of Christ enter your hearts today and bring you the joy that is the true essence of Christmas. I love you all!

Joyful.. the Top Ten
This is the week for JOY! I thought I'd look up the word, because although it only has three letters, it is a complex word. It is more than happiness... it is a state of being. Dictionary.com gave this definition:
<i>the emotion of great delight caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.</i>
To me, joy comes from knowing Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. He is able to take the sting out of the bad things.. to give me more to look forward to than more of the same... to bless me with countless gifts. So, the Top Ten this week is a list of things that are gifts from Jesus that bring me joy.
1- Chris and Brandon. That these boys have embraced me as their mother, to the point of staying when their father left, blesses me every day.
2- Savannah. She is the light of my life- the one I would lay my life down for. She is loving and kind, and has the spirit of an adventurer, too- kinda like her mom!
3- My mother. I'm blessed to call her my friend and confidant. She has shouldered a lot of the financial burden of this divorce (thanks mom!) and still treats me with gifts far beyond what I deserve. I did promise to care for her in her old age, though!
4- Scott. He came into my life at the perfect time, and is the perfect person for me right now. Savannah sees him as a replacement dad (her pretend daddy, she calls him), which does cause me some concern, but he loves her just as much. They've talked. I'm truly blessed.
5- My job. I look forward to going to work most days- and end up staying late without realizing it! I don't have to listen to whining, complaining, negative people (well, hardly ever) and I do all the things I love. And I have good benefits on top of that!
6- The animals. As much as I grumble about the little inside dog and the cat I'm allergic to, I do like the security that animals provide. Their unconditional love. Their willingness to listen. Their mousing skills! And Scott's dog is incredible! She is so trusting and so loving.
7- My church. I've been here for 17 years, and it has changed so much. Gone from a 100 member congregation to a 1000 member congregation. But it is still a loving, caring congregation full of friends. And I get so much joy from Children's Worship!
8- My friends. Both online and IRL, I'm blessed with caring people who support me. Dave, Abby, Kat, Sabrina, Jimmie, Dai, ZB... and many others... have all been around through good times and not so good times. You understand me, support me, laugh with me, and validate my thoughts. Thanks!
9- My country. Yes, it is rather a mess right now, but it is still a place where you can complain without being hauled away in the middle of the night, worship without worry, and be anything you want to be, no matter who you are.
10- My God. He is bigger and stronger than all my problems- and that is a cause for Joy!

Christmas Decorations
One of the kids got this at the "Santa Shop" at school one year.
This isn't as extensive as Abby's, but the house is looking so nice. I'm going to try to enjoy it for awhile without thinking about how bare it is going to look in January. Scott agreed with me that it is a very soothing room to be in right now.

Stolen from Sea- a Christmas Questionnaire
1. Which do you like better: cooking at your house, or going elsewhere? I like cooking, but it doesn't matter if I'm at my house or not. This year we are- for Thanksgiving we were at my Mom's- I still do most of the cooking.
2. Do you buy a fresh or frozen bird OR do a ham? Turkey is Thanksgiving- Christmas is ham! And depending on how many of the boys are home, maybe a turkey, too.
3. What kind of stuffing? Usually a pan of dressing instead of stuffing (because there's usually no turkey!
4. Sweet potato or pumpkin pie? Sweet potato! And chocolate pie, and if we're lucky my aunt will bring her awesome pecan pies!
5. Do you believe that turkey leftovers are a curse, or the point of the whole thing? I love the leftovers- I try to get a turkey that is too big!
6. Which side dish would provoke a riot if you left it off the menu? Probably our hash brown casserole.
7. Do you save the carcass to make soup or stock? If we have one I do... ham bones definitely get dropped in the next beans or soup that gets made.
8. What do you wish you had that would make preparing Christmas dinner easier? More places for people to sit... if you're talking about actual cooking, I'm asking Santa for a KitchenAid mixer!
9. Do you get up at the crack of dawn to have dinner ready in the early afternoon, or do you eat at your normal dinner hour? Christmas Eve we start at 5 and end at midnight with hors d'oeuvres and tasties. Christmas Day is a meal, usually late afternoon, so we do presents in the morning and then start cooking.
10. If you go to somebody else's house, what's your favorite dish to bring? If it's a party, shrimp cocktail. People are sure to love it!
11. Is your cranberry sauce fresh or canned? If we have it, fresh. I won't eat canned.
12. What's your absolute favorite thing on the menu? Hmm that's hard- I don't make things I don't like! But probably the shrimp cocktail!

Peaceful Ten Thought Tuesday
1. I don't know if I'm really peaceful- I have spent the day Christmas shopping. But most of it is done, so that will add some more peace to my life!
2. I had an unexpected treat last night. Scott's ministry candidacy has to be voted on by several groups and he asked me to come with him last night to one of them. I wasn't prepared for a full-blown worship service- with communion! But I was so happy, because I had missed communion on Sunday. God is so good!!
3. My mom and I get along great! I have her presents to wrap and she has mine! (I got the better end of that deal!)
4. I bought a new rug for the living room yesterday- Merry Christmas to me! The old one was shot, and I happened to be at Linens 'n Things at their 70% off sale... who could resist?
5. I brought Madi inside last night because it was cold. Actually I do that most every night. But last night she wanted to be a lap dog- all 45 lbs of her! She is so sweet and loving!
6. I should tell Scott how much love he has brought into my life- at least through his dog!
7. Savannah made a very mature decision yesterday- she quit the school basketball team. Her grades were slipping and she knows it is because she wasn't getting home from school until after 7pm every night. The AD told her he was proud of her for putting her grades first.
8. Brandon and his ex-girlfriend have finally made peace and decided to be friends. This is a very good thing, especially since he is in such a small school. (He's a senior-- there are less than 40 kids in his graduating class!)
9. I have community chorus dress rehearsal tonight for our concerts this weekend. I'd rather sleep- I feel like I'm getting a cold, which is the last thing I need if I'm going to sing all weekend.
10. I am so pleased and proud to have Scott in my life! He is truly a blessing to me and my family, and that gives me peace!

It's What I Do Each Week
You know I lead music for children's worship each Sunday. Some weeks are just special, though. I thought you'd get a kick out of this picture. We had a real live Indian chief (Reynard Faber, chief of the Apache Nation) at our church last month. He works with Samaritan's Purse as the Native American coordinator for Operation Christmas Child. He received shoeboxes during our children's worship service. That's me beside him, handing out treats to everyone who donated a box.
Meeting the chief was fun- he was a great guy who liked to pick on people a lot, but obviously loves Jesus. The kids were in awe, especially when he was telling them of children who receive the shoeboxes.
I really love my job!!

The Symphony Was Awesome!
I ended up with three free tickets to the Charlotte Symphony last night (perk of the job, believe it or not!) So Scott, Savannah, and I went to their Christmas Pops concert. It was a blast! The symphony was joined by the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, the Charlotte Children's Choir, a jazz quintet, and the UNCC Percussion ensemble.The diverse program included "Christmastime is Here" by the children and the jazz quintet; Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" from the Messiah; a movement from Tchaicovsky's "Nutcracker Suite"; music from "The Polar Express" and a quirky original piece by the percussion ensemble (who was a ton of fun) called "All I Want for Christmas is a Brand New Drum," where they beat on everything from their knees, to boxes, to drums, to Santa- and even Mrs. Claus used her broom to keep time! There was more, including "Silent Night," "White Christmas," "Sleigh Ride," and a movement of the Poulenc "Gloria."
We had great orchestra level seats, but at intermission, Scott and Savannah got to exploring the beautiful Belk Theatre, made friends with an usher, and ended up moving us to box seats right over the stage! That was fun- looking down and watching them play! Look at this picture, and we sat on the middle level on the right- the closest box to the stage!
I miss being in band, but this cured my classical music lust for the moment, anyway. We were discussing season tickets on the way home, but $300 for 5 shows (for 2 people) is beyond our means right now, although that isn't a bad deal at all. Maybe Santa will be good to me and bring me symphony tickets for Christmas!
