Happy New Year, everyone! I've been a horrible blogger for the past month or so. Just so much going on with the holidays, and I stare a computer screen so much at work that I really don't feel like doing more of that when I get home.
Anywho, I had an awesome time ringing in the new year with my wonderful husband and fantastic friends. As we were waiting for midnight to arrive, the ladies and I were discussing our goals for the new year. Not resolutions, as those seem to be made to be broken, but actual attainable goals. I wanted to record them here as a way of keeping myself accountable.
No. 1: Wake up earlier to actually allow myself time to get ready and to be able to have a time to myself to study the Word (for some reason, I really dislike the phrase "quiet time"). I don't really have an interest in just reading straight through the Bible, and I haven't been able to find a "devotional" book that I really click with. However, on The City (the website our church uses as a social network for members) there is a section for daily Bible reading that doesn't just go verse by verse starting in Genesis. I'm going to give this a try, and what better time to start than January 1st? Today's passages are Genesis 1, Matthew 1, Ezra 1, and Acts 1.
No 2: Be healthier. I'm not going to say that I need to lose a certain amount of weight, but weight loss is a natural byproduct of a healthier lifestyle. And with this, another goal is to try to plan out our weekly meal schedule before the week happens, so we don't end up just eating whatever junk is easily available.
That's really it at this point, but I strive to be constantly bettering myself in all areas, so I'm sure I'll think of more!
What are your goals for the new year?
