Each year, as the seemingly majority of America, I reevaluate, restart, and redo my list of goals. This year, rather than making a list of well intentioned goals, set myself up for failure, and throw in the towel January 2nd, I have committed myself to a manageable plan. A plan that allows me to make lists (something I cannot function without), and alter as necessary.
I have organized a list of things I hope to accomplish in the year 2012. The following is not inclusive, but a general overview:
Spiritual Goals:
Bible in a Year (Have been doing this in 6 months, but want to stretch it out)
Memorize 100 Verses this year (2 a week)
Find a church (have been searching for 4 months)
Complete our Personal and Family Mission Statements
Continue our prayerful search for mentors
Pray for ministry opportunities outside of home (ideally through our new church)
Relational:
Date night twice a month
Family/Friend visits once a month minimum
Motherhood/Parenting Goals:
Consistency in Discipline
Continue to add scripture to Bailey's heart training
Patience
Eliminate pacifier
Independent Play
Potty Training----maybe.
Homemaking:
Reevaluate our Menu Plan/Meal Budget
De-clutter: 30 items in 30 days at least twice this year
Evaluate and update Household and Emergency Binder
Compile a 3-5 day survival kit
Personal Growth:
Exercise 4 times a week
Read a minimum of 1 book a month
While the list is very manageable, I cannot succeed by taking it all on January 1st. So each week/month, I will be evaluating the list and chipping away bit by bit. With that said, the objective for January is the following:
8 Verses Memorized
Genesis and Job read (utilizing a chronological reading plan)
2 Date nights
1 Play date
Complete 1 Book
Exercise for 20 minutes 5x's week
Reevaluate food Budget

Looks great! I, too, have just been making lists of things I'd like to accomplish. That way when I'm ready to do something, I have an entire list to choose from yet don't feel like I have to get to it all. I would love to know what you do with a survival kit. It's on my list to do this year too. I hope you find a church home soon. I know how important that is. It's taken us a good several years to truly get involved at Life and feel like home. It's a process that can take awhile.
