Seven Sevens Remix for 2006
Thanks to my good blogging friend Best With Sons the Seven Sevens Tag came around again. To be honest, I like those tags in a way, because 1. you learn more things about your blogging buddies, 2. gives me a topic to blog – ha (how do you like that for a positive spin on memes). So here it goes:
The New Year’s Seven Sevens Meme (reworked by Blest)
7 Things I want to do in 2006
Read the Bible cover-to-cover (and don’t stop in the middle of the year – grrrr)
Spend time with my Sweetheart in San Carlos (best place this side of heaven)
Lead a women’s Bible study once again
Create my own WP template from scratch
Redecorate the guest bedroom with fun, sunny colors (no pink though – lol)
Go through my book collection and donate some to the church library
Learn Italian
7 Things to do less in 2006
Being pushy with our son
Drink less coffee (that is a huge maybe though)
Get discouraged if my Sweetheart doesn’t want my help
Leave comments on every single blog I visit (very compulsive addiction of mine)
Driving fast in town
Use the word “Yikes” (just have to find a substitute for it – lol)
Take everything too serious, especially myself
7 Ways to be a better wife/mother/friend/daughter/sister in 2006
Be even more attentive to my hubby
Don’t nag our son (I think that I don’t, but he says I do – mhm)
Call my mom more often (she calls me all the time)
Call/email my sister more often (not only for birthdays/holidays)
Just listen to friends and don’t try to fix their problems
Read emails correctly before responding (sorry PM – had a blonde moment)
Pray, pray and pray before responding to anything that makes me mad
7 Scripture Passages I want to memorize in 2006
Joshua 8:30-35
Acts 7:51-60
Psalm 143
Romans 7:7-13
Romans 8:1-11
2 Peter 2:1-5
Acts 4:23-31
7 Books that I’ve never read that I am going to read in 2006
“The Excellent Wife” by Martha Peace
“Eusebius – The Church History” by Paul L. Maier
“The First Light” by Bodie & Brock Thoene
“Pontius Pilate” by Paul L. Maier
“Heart Like His” by Beth Moore (started it, but haven’t continued)
“Discipleship: The Next Step…” by Greg Laurie
“Showdown” by Ted Dekker
7 Movies that I have never seen that I am going to watch in 2006
This one I have to pass on, because who knows what comes out in 2006???
Well, here comes the part where I would need to list 7 other people to join me in the meme. I am not good at this tagging thing, so for right now, my blogging buddies are safe (just for a short while though – I do have another blog – lol). But, if you read this and like the meme, please feel free to join us and leave me a comment that you have posted yours.
Pin It
I think leaving lots of comments on blogs is good…you shouldn’t change that. (Don’t you ever get excited when you see 7 comments on a post you wrote the night before?)
And First Light is a most excellent book. I loved it.
Great list! I love it! And your comments are wonderful! You must have the gift of encouragement!
Thank you Bethany for letting me know about the book
. I have it on my desk for the last month, but haven’t had the time yet looking at it. Now I am encouraged to read it.
) for some new goodies I have created – you might enjoy them. 
Blest – you are actually the second person saying it this month regarding the encouragement:). Well, the test at church said that I do, but sometimes I am not so sure about those tests – lol.
BTW, Ladies, check out My Lighter Side (you can find the link in my sidebar
I enjoyed reading your answers to these–always fun to get to know your friends better. Hope your New year is blessed in every way!
Thanks Vicki for stopping by
. I truly enjoyed your blog in 2005 and I am sure I’ll enjoy it in 2006 as well. You are a true blessing to the blogging world.
