2011 - A lot of changes in a year!

2010 was a year of growth & changes for the Dove's. Our family grew, and that growth brought about MAJOR changes. Some good, some difficult - but all a part of the story God has given us to share. And throughout all of it, God was - and continues to be! - with us. And for that we are so thankful.

We welcome 2011 with open arms, and with lots of hope & excitement.


For 2011, we have many goals, including:

1. Strive to live healthier lives (less eating out, more cooking at home, more physical activity)
2. Try to live more simplified lives (we were already seeing the need for this, but reading the book Radical really got us fired up)
3. Accept with excitement the fact that God is calling us to some changes in our lives
4. Focus on and learn how to share the stories God has given us - and more importantly - share HIS story!
5. Try not to sweat the small stuff (okay, this is more MY goal than a family goal - but wanted to put it out there as a reminder to myself!)
6. Focus less on us and more on Him

Praying that each of you finds renewal and blessings in this new year!
