One week in and it's time to write down some of my goals for 2010. The things that will happen in 2010!
My Prayer for 2010:
"Lord, Teach me what's important."
I've spent a lot of time worrying and being concerned with things that aren't important; Inconsequential people's view of me is the number one thing that I waste energy worrying about. This year, I long for and am expecting God to teach me what IS important: My relationship with Him, being a good steward of my time and money, accomplishing more things of importance.
I want to know when to work and when it's okay to rest. God is faithful, He's teaching me.
My Motto for 2010:
"I can't control what other people do but I can control what I do."
It's easy to hold other people to my expectations and be disappointed when they don't meet them. I can't control how well the girls I work with do their jobs, I can't control what my boss does, I can't control my friends or pastors or customers or family or boyfriend. But I can control myself; I decide how hard I work, how kind I am, how flexible, understanding and patient I am. I can't control what other people do but I can control what I do, and I'm going to do what God expects of me and let Him take care of the people that don't do what I think they should (and in all honesty, that might be a good thing at times!)
As for my list of things I'd like to accomplish (beside those 2 big ones up there...)
0) Exercise More! Go to a fitness class 3-5 times each week. Obviously, everyone in the entire world wants to exercise more. The cool thing is that I've been doing these Zumba classes that are the most fun thing ever. My gym has tons of really fun classes so I want to try more and do more!
0) Really Study God's Word
'Nuff said.
0) Cook More! Try New Recipes!
My tentative goal is to try a new healthy recipe every week!
0) Invest in Playing Guitar & Songwriting
I want to get better at both so it's time to make it a priority!
0) Make More!

That's it for now :)
Great goals! That picture of the yarn drew me in & I had to see the blog you were talking about. You're right, it's amazing!!! I'm following Elsie now too. Good ideas there...
ReplyDeleteHow's the trying new recipes going? I share your desire for that! Last night I made Asian short ribs in a crock pot & they were pretty good! Success!
