New Year's Resolutions

I've never been big into New Year's Resolutions, but I'm starting now.  I want some simplicity to my life.  That doesn't come easy for any one.  I want these kids to have happiness and fun while they experience life in America with us as their American parents.  I want them to be happy and have fun while they are here.  I want them to learn valuable lessons.  Some of the lessons are important.  How do you adapt to social skills that a different culture has?  That is a hard one, at times.  We learn about the kids' cultures and adapt elements of their cultures into our lives.  But we need some balance.  So my goals this year are important to me.  Be faithful, be strong, work hard (no brainer for me), and make a difference in people's lives.  God speed!
