Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.-Victor Hugo
My word for 2010 is HOPE!
When we learn to rest in the Lord and place our hope in him, we find a peace and comfort sweeping over us. We need to change our way of looking at things. Our hope is in the Lord. God’s help is sufficient. We need to learn to place our hope in him. He will not fail us.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul; "therefore will I hope in him." Lamentations 3:24
"For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe." 1 Timothy 4:10
I am sure to share more verses with you throughout the year.
You know hope is my word for the year but lately I feel like I am being torn between hope and simplify. Maybe I should be hoping to simplify!!!

Facebook Memories
These are some of the funny quotes of the day posted by husband who does Facebook or Blog anymore. I just wanted to keep a record of them.
September 23, 2009 Jim Perdue Anna Kate just picked her purse up, put it on her shoulder, waved at me and said, "bye." I almost cried because I realized that one day that will really happen.
Jim Perdue Judd just walked up and gave me a penny; then he said, "Keep it for God!" I love that kid!!!

Jim Perdue I'm taking all three kids to town by myself. Brave or stupid? We'll see!
Jim Perdue When Stephanie was gone on Saturday, I took the kids to town all by myself. I survived! This is how. When they have food in their mouths they are much less likely to scream.

Jim Perdue SOOOO proud of my wife! She did awesome running the Peachtree Roadrace this morning. Set her sights, worked hard and reached her goal!

Jim Perdue When my kids are teenagers I won't be able to drag them out of bed this early! But I'll be so old by then I won't be able to sleep in.
November 23, 2009
Stephanie Perdue was told in the car by Jake that "I don't work and that Daddy does all the work." I asked, "Do you mean I don't go to work?" "Yeah, Mommy you don't do anything." I guess being his mommy isn't much of a job. :-)

2010 Marathon Challenge
In 2009, I really worked on developing an area of my physical life that I never thought was possible. I NEVER thought I would be 30 years old and running a 10k in July much less a half-marathon in December. Throughout my training especially when I was training alone, I would think about the shape of my spiritual life. I would compare my dedication to running to my dedication to the Lord. For example, do I eagerly anticipate getting up at 6:15 to spend time reading the Bible like I did when i was running this summer. (I say summer because I didn't not enjoy running during the winter. Not a good comparison).
This year I have decided to take on another challenge but this year will be a spiritual marathon. I am going to read through the whole Bible this year. I have chosen to read through in chronological order. Jim and I are doing it together and it has been a lot of fun.
I will keep you updated on how well we are doing throughout the year.

Jake Loves Everything Georgia (Football)
Tonight at basketball practice Jake's coach was handing him a blue and white basketball and he said that he wasn't allowed to use that one. I happen to be looking that way and she mouthed to me "Why isn't he allowed to use this one?" Confused I said "he is" and I looked at him and said "you can use it." As the words were coming out of my mouth he said "but it has Memphis Tigers on the side. I can't use it." I got tickled and his daddy did a double fist pump into the air. "That's my boy!"
All of this Go Bulldogs is music to our ears. For the past year, Jake has been anti-bulldogs, anti-UGA everything. He was so bad that he would pull for any team that played UGA. We really couldn't understand why he did not like them but we did not make a big deal unless he was being disrespectful or obnoxious. We think that he was so anti-UGA was because everyone would pick on him and he didn't understand that it was all in fun.
Something happened, during Thanksgiving break. We went to Georgia to visit family and the night we were driving back he could not wait to get home to watch Georgia play Georgia Tech but the best part was he wanted Georgia to beat Tech. We couldn't believe what we were hearing. Was this the same boy that would cry any time we asked him to wear his UGA shirts, was this they same boy who completely rebelled when we bought him a very cool UGA jersey. Yes it was, so of course he was allowed to stay up way past his bed time to watch the Bulldogs win. It was so funny to watch him jump up on the bed when the scored, high five when they made a great play, and get mad when they made a bad play. Ever since that night his favorite color is red, he only wants to wear Bulldog clothing, and he LOVES to watch football. He loves Georgia Football but he has become a bit obsessed with watching all football. He eats all of his meals in 2.5 seconds if he thinks a game is on. He will run into the room and check the score. This is a very fun season in his life, one that we are thoroughly enjoying with him.
