<p>As I was organizing my documents in Google Docs I found a PDF I had received from <a title="Problogger" href="http://problogger.net">Problogger</a>, <em>9 Things to Do to Get Your Blog On Track in The New Year</em>. I instantly added this to my to do list today. I need to read this!</p>
<p>I read it and I knew what I wanted my objectives to be but I still don&#8217;t know where I will write them for me to see. And I still felt like I had nothing to right about on my blog. Then I realized I need to write about this. My objectives!</p>
<h2>Be Consistent!</h2>
<p>One of my objectives this is year is to be more consistent in my posting. This is hard but I really want to do it.</p>
<p>Over a year ago I did <a id="application_name_header_link" href="http://www.nablopomo.com/">NaBloPoMo</a>. I loved it, but it was stressful. Some nights I would stare at the computer screen wondering what could I possibly talk about tonight. So I won&#8217;t be posting every single day. But I will try and post more consistently.</p>
<p>I have also tried making calendars and making each day of the week a day with a special subject. This helps but it&#8217;s not perfect.</p>
<p>Before my hiatus I added a plugin to show a calendar on my dashboard showing when I have posts set up for that month. That helped decrease the stress of posting for me so I am hoping this will help me in this objective.</p>
<h2>Your Turn</h2>
<p>But here is where you come in. What do you want me to post about? Just my Mommy stuff, About Blogging, Vlogging? What is your favorite section here on PepperScraps?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going to church has been a part of my life and my husband&#8217;s life as far back as we can remember. I have early recollections of the little church tucked into the trees away from the main road in town. I remember playing with kids there and having my photo taken and &#8220;sewing&#8221; yarn onto a frame that said &#8220;Jesus Loves Me&#8221;. My mom still has that picture and frame in her keepsakes.</p>
<p>But things got hard after graduating high school. My dreams were squashed by many things in my life and my faith started to fade into all the pain. This too also happened with my husband. He needed a break from the church and so I took a break with him.</p>
<p>But now we are taking extra steps to commit ourselves to a new church. At first it was hard and we struggled with it. We had trouble finding a church that we fit into. But last year everything finally came together. We found our new church. We have made a commitment to go every week. I teach in the childrens&#8217; church every other week. I go to bible study every week. We have actually become members of the church.</p>
<p>For my husband this is a struggle to learn what it is to be a &#8220;member&#8221; of a church. His mother was a pastor but of a tiny little church that never grew to having official membership. And when she was not pastoring the tiny church then they were hopping from one church to another. But this is something that he needs in his life to help him through some of struggles in life. This is something we both need in our lives.</p>
<p>Have you made a commitment to go church regularly? Do you struggle with it? What helps you make sure you get there every week?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t usually make resolutions on the New Year, but this year I decided that I would make a point of making some changes in my heart. I want to grow in faith, to rely more on God, I want to be his child again. I&#8217;m making a resolution this year to take steps in growing closer to God and put my faith first.</p>
<p>I grew up in the church but then stepped away for a while. When things in my life seemed to overwhelm me and when I had experiences that soured my vision of the church. My love for the Lord has never faded but my faith faded as I was away from the church.</p>
<p>My desire has grown so strong to bring to right my life with the Lord. I have been making great strides in working on spending time with Him. Now I want even more to become closer to Him.</p>
<p>This January I am going to share with some of the things I have been adding to my life to grow in my walk with the Lord. Some of the things I am adding to my life and some of the things I am changing.</p>
<p>I will also be following the series <a title="Fresh Year Fresh Start" href="http://www.krististephens.com/2009/12/fresh-year-fresh-start.html" target="_blank">Fresh Year, Fresh Start</a>. I encourage you to follow along also!</p>
<p>Have you made any resolutions this year? Anything to better your life? Have you made resolutions before?</p>
