Resolutions

New Year Resolutions... it's something that you hear a lot about this time of year.  I'm not naive in making a resolution- I realize more likely than not, I will not meet my resolutions.  However, I do want to show a resiliency.  If I don't make my goals, I want to try again and again and again until I reach that goal.

For this year, I would like to develop good habits. Last year, God showed me a lot about the downfall of being busy, and although this is always something I will struggle with- I do believe I have made some serious steps into decluttering my life and taking the moment in for what it truly is.

If I had to choose one word for this year, it would be growth.  Growth in my relationships, my faith and basically every part of my life. To do this, I have set some goals for my year (and I would love to accountability of friends and family over the year!)
Some of my goals:

• Read through the Bible from cover to cover 

Though I have read through majority of my Bible- there is still so much I am missing and so many promises I want to dig into deeper.  I have yet to read my Bible from cover to cover, and I would love to make the step to do that this year.

• Take more time for my health throughout the year 

Not going to lie, I have sadly let this part slip so much these last few years.  As a mom it can be so hard to make time for yourself between all your other commitments.  I have joined a gym and I am hoping my 'cheap' side to me will make it incentive to use the membership I am paying for (and to be quite honest I have loved all the classes I have tried out thus far). 

• Set a good example for my girls and family in all that I do

I was listening to a podcast recently and though I cannot remember the actual quote but it talked about how often we can let ourselves just 'get past this moment' and once we do that we can slow down.  I live by this so often. Days, weeks and years go by where I say once I get to the next point, I can finally slow down.  I need to stop this and truly live for the moment rather than pushing towards the next moment.

So yes, I do have goals about my life, my health, my faith and my debt... but perhaps instead of calling them New Year Resolutions, I can call them goals.  I know I will most likely fail, but I hope to continue to push towards reaching them no matter how long it may take.  

What goals do you have for the year?
