For me the new year has always been a time to make a resolution to lose weight. Although I always started strong, it never lasted. This year I want to do things differently. I want to be sure I am in the Lord's will as I focus on my goals.
As the saying goes, "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time." I don't want to waste a year of my life when I should be living for the Lord. I may not make all my goals, or I may change them along the way but I will be farther along than if I didn't set any goals at all.
So with all of this in mind, I am setting these goals to accomplish by next year.
Family Goals:
- Stay in closer contact with family and friends
- Create a photo prayer journal
- De-clutter the house...getting rid of things we don't use and organizing the things we do use
Homemaking Goals:
- Try one new recipe a week
- Save 3 to 6 months expenses in savings
- Pay at least $5,000 extra on our mortgage
Personal Goals:
- Comment more on others blogs
- Participate more on blog activities that promote networking
Spiritual Goals:
- A time of prayer each night before going to sleep
- Pray more frequently for our missionaries
- Go through the Bible on CD
Crafting Goals:
- Use one new stamp set per month to make cards
- Complete one card challenge per month
- Make 25 cards per month
- Post one item on Etsy per month
- Have 1 stamp class per Quarter
As I look back on 2009 I realize there are many projects that I started and never finished. This year I want to focus more on completing what I begin and also going back and completing those projects from 2009.
I would appreciate your prayers as I strive to complete these goals. Through God's leading, guidance and strength, I will be successful!
