I was recently asked to write about my New Years resolutions. Honestly when midnight hit on New Year's morning, I was asleep in bed. And the next day, I didn't really want to proclaim "These are my resolutions!" But I do like the idea of setting Goals for myself.
So these are my 2012 Goals!
Do I have any New Year’s resolutions? What are they?
I have several goalsI have made for myself for 2012.
*Get more organized and stay that way! Clear out the clutter and keep what we need. Sell or donate what we don't!
*Make a menu each week and limit our eating out.
*Read my Bible & pray more!
*Potty train my almost 3 year old! Enough said there! LOL!
*BLOG MORE!!! :-)
*Start working out and eat healthier so I can feel better physically and have a better self confidence of how I look. And hopefully gain more energy and lose weight in the process!!!
In previous years I have made resolutions and then not stuck with them. I was gung-ho in January & February and then slowly faded after that. I figure if I set a goal but also give a little wiggle room and don't beat myself up if I fall off the track and have to get back on, that will just be part of making positive changes as long as I try to stick with it for the long haul. Hopefully that makes sense! :-)
What is the biggest goal you want to accomplish this year?
Probably my biggest goal for 2012 is to remember to savor the moments with my children.

As my boy's birthday's are approaching next month and they will be turning 2 & 3, it has just really hit me that my little babies are getting bigger and aren't so much "baby" anymore! I know they are still small, but I just can't believe how fast time is going by. At times life is so crazy, but I want to remember to take step back mentally and just soak up these precious moments when they are still small and at home with me! I love being a mom and pouring my love into my children. And I want to teach them more about God who loves them too!! I think that is the greatest thing we can do!
I smile as I read this because my list looks so much like yours! I started making a menu last year, and it helped cut down on eating out and on the amount of food we were wasting - both are wonderful consequences.
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple of verses that I go back to often as I seek to accomplish my goals - hope they're an encouragement to you to keep on keeping on :)
Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. [Proverbs 16:3]
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ! [Colossians 3:23-24]
