A New Beginning

Okay, so it has been a LONG time since I last wrote anything on here...since last April to be exact!! I apologize to all my devoted fans - I know you must be DYING to know what's been going on in my life! hahaha:) (jk of course!)

Anyways, I've decided to put a few of my thoughts on here for you to ponder. I have some goals for the year and even though it isn't January 1st, it's never too late to set new goals! I am actually stealing an idea from my dear friend Jess in setting goals and not making resolutions! :)

I am keeping the number of goals that I am setting low b/c I always make too many and then burn out on keeping them pretty quickly. Hopefully, by only setting 3, I should be able to maintain them throughout the year.

1. My first goal is to really get my spiritual life back on track. This area of my life has been lacking for quite some time, and I really want to get it back to where it should be. Andrew and I have both been feeling this way, and are determined to make an improvement this year. My goal is to get back to having a daily time each day where I read my Bible and pray. I am not quite there yet, but I am off to a good start. I'm at a much better place than I have been for a while! It helps that our church is doing the 365 program this year - reading the Bible in 365 days. They have a daily reading and devotional on their website...check it out here http://www.capitalcitychurchdc.org/connect/365Devotional

2. My next goal has to do with my health. My goal is to improve my gym habits. Andrew can attest to the fact that I am a rare visitor to the gym - I have improved in the past few weeks, but I want to become a regular. :) So, my goal is to work up to going to the gym daily, but for now I am aiming to go at least 4 times a week. I figure that is an achievable goal and a good way to start!

3. And last but certainly not least, I want to keep our apartment cleaner! I am not a very good housekeeper...anybody who knew me in high school or college can verify that fact. People don't usually see the house when it's a mess b/c we clean up for company, but on the whole, I do not do a good job of keeping our apartment in tip top order. So, I am working on that this year as well.

Those are my goals for the year. I think they are attainable and shouldn't be too hard to keep with a little dedication and hard work:) Feel free to ask me about them and help keep me accountable anytime you see me!! :)
