this year i have been wanting to be more intentional about keeping my goals. like most people, i put together a list at the beginning of a new year with the hopes of ticking off boxes. but for whatever reason that list gets misplaced, forgotten, or hidden beneath a pile of bills and daily to-do lists. and, like most people, i tell myself year and year that i will be better.
well, 2012 is going to be different.
going into 2012 i had the excitment and the anticipation of a child waiting for an extra scoop of her favorite ice cream. i felt like i could do anything. i had all of the possibilities that come with being a young newlywed, renting an apartment, working part time, and having the most loving husband a girl could ask for.
would i go back to school to further my degree? would i do something completely different like take cooking classes? would i start my own organizational business? i had my growing list of activities i wanted to accomplish, goals that i was developing strategies for, and habits and simple daily living skills that i wanted to adopt. with children being far in the forecast i literally felt like i had the world at my fingertips. the girl with endless possibilities.
January began with a lot of adjustments and, for reasons i will not disclose on this blog, my ambitious day dreaming days were put on pause. this intermission lasted through the middle of February. (this is the reason for my absence on this little blog).
now it is March and i have made a new commitment to myself: i will commit to love myself and those around me with the same love that Christ has for me. i will commit to seek the Lord in every area of my life. and i will commit to grow in godliness as the Bible commands.
these commitments and a renewed sense to intentionally live life well can be attributed to multiple factors; my dear long-suffering husband, my inspiring acquaintances via the blogshere, my beautiful friends and family with their encouraging words, and my beloved church which i am falling more and more in love with every week.
i want to thank you all for your love and support through a transitional period in my life. i know that not every person will know the influence they had on me, weather it be a simple blog post or a kind word, but they have all meant the world to me. so thank you.
i am so excited for 2012! i will give you the details soon but for now i wanted to let you know a little of what has been on my heart. so be encouraged for the things to come!
have a blessed weekend friends!
