2012
SO THE BIG QUESTION.......What are your goals for 2012?
You may wonder what a goal is. According to thefreedictionary.com, goal is the purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective. My definition of a goal is something that I want to attempt to complete by a specific time period.
My 1st goal in 2012 is for me and my family to develop a better relationship with God. Yes, I know who God is but sometimes I feel that I take him for granted. Sometimes it takes us working on ourselves before we can try and work on other members of our family. I have learned that the hard way, but I have gotten a better understanding for that. I must say that my daughter holds me accountable and doesn’t let me leave out of her room at night, until we have gotten down on our knees and Thank God for the day. It’s a start, right?
My 2nd goal is to have a STRONGER relationship with my family. Being a wife, working mother and a student can be very hard. I always have the thoughts in my head that I am not giving someone enough time. No matter what, God comes first and then your husband. Well, putting your husband first in front of the kids can be somewhat challenging. They are still young and need every bit of my attention. There are many days that I am left frustrated because I have to come home to the little ones, cook, put them to bed, try to study and then go to bed and do it all over again. Now did I mention spending time with my husband……well….. maybe my 2nd goal should be to get my priorities in order!
My 3rd goal was to go back to school. I decided to take 2 classes online with Sam Houston State University. I kept contemplating on taking these classes because of having a 5 month old and 7 year old keeping me busy. Even though I contemplated, I kept thinking about the bible verse, Heb 13:5..."Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." That verse allowed me to focus; it let me know that God would be there every step of the way if I put him first.
You may think, wow she only has 3 goals for 2012? No… I have more but these are the most important that matter. At this point in my life, I am definitely working on my personal road. God is working on me and walking by my side, allowing me to take baby steps to get there; I am not in a hurry to get to the Highways of Life.
Are you going to attempt to complete your goals in 2012?
