So....this year I am making ONE goal....I can and WILL achieve it also. It is not out of reach and it is an encouragement from God....
Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” (NIV)
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” (NIV)
Ecclesiastes 9:10

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” (NIV)
Luke 6:45
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” ~KJV Ad.
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” ~KJV Ad.
Luke 6:37-38
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (NIV)

This year I am going to be the best I can be....yep, that does sound super cheesy. Just bear with me, mmkay? I am going to do good in every area of my life. A small list of what I am talking about:
*Answer emails immediately, instead of waiting to think about what I will say...only to forget the email and have the other person get mad or their feelings hurt because I didn't respond in a timely manner.
*Answer texts immediately....for the same reasons as above.
*Answer/return phone calls....I am NOT A PHONE TALKER...most of my family and friends know this and accept me for my weird quirks! Others don't get it and are offended...again, see above.
*Return things right after I've borrowed and used them.
*Less eating out, more focused meal planning.
*Listing all medical debt and begin paying it off.
*We bought the big boys there first big kid Bibles for Christmas and we want to teach them how important this book is...I have a crafty project to get done to push this belief. Exciting!
*....clean the bathrooms more....yikes, I can't believe I just admitted that on here!!
*Read my Bible and pray way more than I do now.
*Send little notes to family and friends.
*In general....ORGANIZE my life and home.
That is just a smattering of ways to be better at my life. God has blessed me so much and I never want to take that for granted. I can do so much more with what He has given me. I pray that I can keep this promise to be the best me I can be (wow, sounds cheesy and selfish! ha!), but I know I will have days where I just want to be a big ole lazy slob...and that's okay too! ;)
Honestly every year I cringe at the thought of my NYR (for constant fear of failure), but this year I am actually looking forward to 2012!!! I can accomplish this goal....bring it on!! :))
Thanks for stopping by!
