Looking to 2014

With a new year is a new slate ready to be written on. What will you write in 2014?  I have been thinking about what goals I want to set and meet in the new year. 

I want to continue to grow closer to God. By working on this relationship I will continue to work on myself. I will become a better Christian which lead to being a better wife, mother, daughter, friend, family member, coworker, employee, and person as a whole. I am not perfect and do not claim to be, but we all can continue to improve ourselves. 

I want to have a cleaner year. Less drama, less conflict, less fast food, less clutter, and less stress. Way too often we get caught up in the things that do not matter. These things can be at work, with family, or with friends. However it drags you down in all aspects of your life. I want to have less of this. 

I want to do more with Emma and my family. Not the expensive trips but the priceless things. Playing games, playing outside, diddling with her, and enjoying her while she is little. She has grown so fast already and I want to enjoy her childhood. 

I will budget more, save more, and most of all live more. I will be happier, laugh more, and take time to enjoy the small things more.  

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.  See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”  Isaiah 43:18-19
