January 1, 2007 - 37 Days of Consecration

37 Days of Consecration begins today at our church. I am totally looking foward to taking this opportunity to draw closer to God and find His direction for my life. Today began with prayer and reading Matthew, Chapters 1-9.....it will also be a day of fasting. By the end of these 37 days, we will have read the New Testament in it's entirety. The 37 days signify 10% of the year.

I am also excited because I have been given a new Sunday School class - ages 10, 11 and 12....it's a class that consists of mostly girls and they are excited that I'm going to be their teacher. This makes about 22 years of teaching Sunday School class for me and is something that I continue to hold dear to my heart. I can recall all my Sunday School teachers fondly and always pray that I am making a positive impact in the lives of these children.

On a personal note, what would New Year's be without a resolution to lose weight and get into shape? I have a couple of incentives this year....my 25th wedding anniversary and 25-year class reunion are both coming up in May. Twenty-five years?! Where has the time gone?

I wish everyone who reads my blog a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2007!

Happy New Year, Teresa! I'm glad I decided to read your blog tonight - it reminded me to read Matthew 1-9.
Best wishes on your weight loss quest. I'm right there with 'ya!
