As I was reviewing last week's goals and planning for this next week, I got to thinking about some long term goals. I jotted down some long term (in the next year) and some shorter term (within the next 6 month) goals. I also made my list of this week's goals. Here I'll share them with you:
Long Term Goals (in the next year or so):
- Be debt free from school!
- Start saving for a house!
- Start looking for a house (this may be the "or so" part of the goal)
Short Term Goals (within the next 6 months):
- Get a job. I pray that it will take me less than 6 months. Everyone needs accountants, right? :]
Last week, my goals were:
1. Clean out the refrigerator.
2. Continue with Week 5 of my Bible Study.
3. Continue to work out. (I found some workout DVDs on Netflixed and tried them...I'm still having muscle pain. I kinda took it easy.)
4. Continue reading "The Help."
5. Try some more new recipes.
6. Finish up the invitations for Mackenzie's Bridal Shower.
7. Encourage someone. (I hope I did this with the 2 girls I talked to on the phone this week)
8. Try to find a bank in the STL area. (Ongoing process)
9. Contact Christi at Honey Pot.
2. Continue with Week 5 of my Bible Study.
4. Continue reading "The Help."
5. Try some more new recipes.
6. Finish up the invitations for Mackenzie's Bridal Shower.
7. Encourage someone. (I hope I did this with the 2 girls I talked to on the phone this week)
8. Try to find a bank in the STL area. (Ongoing process)
This week my goals are:
- Finish The Help (I have roughly 30 pages left)
- Finish my Bible Study with Week 6.
- Buy stamps.
- Send out the invitations for the bridal shower.
- Work on making chalkboards?? (Could possibly wait til we get moved)
- Continue working out.
- Try to find a bank in STL.
- Start working on an "STL Budget."
- Start really searching for a job.
- Write someone a note.
- Become more Christ-like.--This has always been my goal, everyday. But I thought I should actually write it out.
We are one week closer to being done. One week closer to moving. I keep thinking about things that I'm going to "get back" when we move. It's going to be like Christmas all over again! :] But living with minimal belongings makes me realize how much stuff I don't need. The majority of things I own are luxuries. All I need is my trust in Jesus, because He will provide everything that I need: food, water, a roof over my head, clothes. It sounds so cliche, but it's the truth. He has definitely taught me a lot through these 3 months. I will be glad to get my things back, but maybe I ought to take a look and see what I could live without.
