Another Year, Another Year

Well, I just had my 37th birthday on Dec 16. The strange thing is..............I still feel like I am in my 20's! I don't look like I did then (unfortunately) but I still feel the same. Sometimes I forget that I am staring 40 in the face. Especially when I am at home by myself, listening to music, cleaning, doing laundry.................things I have done for years. But now I am doing it all for a husband and 8 and 6 year old daughters as well as myself. So things are growing, I am growing in my life, in who I am; but I still feel YOUNG! So now I have a challenge for myself. To look on the outside how I feel on the inside. Young, vibrant and healthy. Things I want for myself that will directly impact my husband and 2 precious girls. Songs have really been speaking to me the past few months. I truly think God uses them to comfort and encouragement as I walk this path of life. Anyway the song is "I Wish" by Point of Grace. It says "wish I was doin' better with all the things that matter.........." and "to make a better life for my baby girl!" This is my wish......my prayer and I know this 37th year is going to be AMAZING!!!! Watch out........things are going to be happening. I hope to be and encouragement to others.
LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.

Here are the lyrics to the "I Wish" song. May they encourage and speak to you as it did for me!

I wish I didn't feel so helpless
I wish I didn't act so selfish
I wish I didn't wring my hands night and day
My hair was a little bit smoother
My jeans fit a little bit looser
And I always knew the right things to say
And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going on inside
And I wish you wouldn?t get scared and run away

Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I was there was a cure for cancer
I wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children, never got hurt
I wish Eve never bit that apple
You men never went to battle
And I didn't get so mad at the world
I wish I was more like Jesus
And could pick up all the pieces
And make a better life for my baby girl

Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
For everything I am wishing
I know someone up there is listening
So, I say my prayers when I go to bed
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Oh pray my wishes come true
Oh
Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
I know wishes come true
I wish, I wish
