You wanna be a size 5? You wanna take some classes and learn a new skill? How about a face lift? lol

7.) Preach/Teach more so.
8.) Learn a new skill...but don't know what..who knows maybe karate--lol. Or how to shoot a gun, that sounds like fun!
9.) To be an accomplished vegan cook.

FROM MY SISTER-N-LAW
ReplyDelete(a precious woman of God, teacher, harpist & friend)
Pretty much for me I am focusing on Colossians 3:1-17__purposing to focus on Christ and not me. What do people see in me? I didn't actually purposefully make a list of resolutions this year. I just am trying to put Him first in all things and trust Him daily. Don't mean for this to sound super spiritual__I just usually fail at keeping specific resolutions anyway. I bite off more than I can chew. So, this seems more manageable and achievable to me. :)
I decided that instead of New Years resolutions this year, I would make promises to God. (They are harder to break).
ReplyDelete1. Read through the Bible this year
2. Move out of this apartment
3. Get out of unnecessary debt
4. Lose 100 pounds
5. Pray more, hate less.
6. Finish my cookbook
7. Be more faithful with giving.
As for my family, I pray that all 4 kids and 2 son in laws will draw closer to God and find a REAL relationship with Him.
I have not fully honed in on all my goals or family goals for 2011. I do know as I pray I sense the Lord saying to make the most of my days and time because the days are evil. I have also been considering how I spend my time. Facebook has been a big issue for me. It is great because there are so many people that I keep in touch with, but then if it takes too much of the precious little time I feel that I get with my family then it is a problem. So I have made one goal for the year that during the week no more than 15 minutes on Facebook on any given day. Then on the weekends no more than 30 minutes. If I can not follow these self inflicted guidelines then I will take down my FB page.
ReplyDeleteI will let you know when I hone in on the rest of the changes.
They say goals should be measurable so that is what I try to shoot for but some of mine only the Lord will know. 2011 goals: Read through the whole Bible. Get to 150lbs. Do a 5K at 40 minutes. Get rid of $3600 in debt without adding more to it. Get a temporary job in San Diego for next winter. Surprise my husband once a month with something new. Tell my kids I love them every day. How's that?
ReplyDeleteA few of my goals:
ReplyDelete1. Lose 50 pounds. Yikes!
2. Organize my house. Pulling out the label maker!
3. Do something fun with my husband every week.
I also have some other goals that are secret for now . :-)
I have decided to not get mad over silly things...(I mean like a long line, a crazy driver, my internet isn't working, someone say a dumb comment about something I care about, you get it), I want to laugh more, love more, I want to of course reach the lost, but I want to bring back my FIRE for Jesus' love for me, as Jentezen Franklin said "I want to be as on fire for my GOD, as the world is for their god (drinking, money, sports...)" Nobody ever has to beg a sports junkie to "praise" their team! Get back in shape/lose weight through learning to make my spirit in control rather than my flesh!
ReplyDeleteFROM BETH ROBERTS (home school dear friend for years):
ReplyDelete1. Spend more time daily in the Word and in prayer.
2. Work on relationships in all areas of my life.
3. Make a difference for God.
Next, but not nearly as important,
4 Learn how to make better bread from scratch.
5. Learn a skill ( like sewing)
6. Plant a garden and build a chicken coop
