Goals for 2008

I had to laugh as I started to jot down a few things that I wanted to do in 2008, because I thought, “I really need to complete the goals from 2003, 4,5,6 and 7first". Such as:
· Start exercising……….That lasted about a month
· Eat less ice cream……..I actually eat more
· Organize………I still have all the stuff I bought so I`ll do it this year:-).
· Read my bible, (every word) completely through………I just cannot get past Numbers.
· Stop spending so much……..Just thinking about this made me depressed.
· Clip coupons……..Now this I did, I just forgot to take them with me to the store. :-\
· Clean my attic……..I decided I`d let the kids do it when I die, that`s what my mom did and who sees it anyway, right?
· Drink less coffee…….You know, I hate to use the word addicted, but I think I am “that word” to coffee and if you check the health reports, sometimes it`s good for you depending on the week of course.
· Keep my car clean…….That was a dumb goal, if I wait long enough my husband cleans it
· Keep up with old friends that have moved away…….Now, I did email some of them, but if they don`t have email, well, I hate to say it…….ok, ok, I`m feeling guilty about this one.
· Stay on a cleaning schedule…….OMGosh this is a hoot,
But you know what, in 2007 I did:
· Meet some amazing women through the LFMinistry.
· Learn a lot through the study of God`s word.
· Make new friends.
· Spend quality time with my grandkids.
· Break free from some strongholds.
· Discover that my kids can take over when I am falling apart.
· Learn that I passed on my ability to get lost when driving to my daughters.
· Discover that God is faithful through trials.
· Discover that the women in my bible study group are such a blessing.
· Discover a whole new world while traveling out west.
I also discovered that God has an unfailing love for me that just overwhelms me at times.
