Show & Tell - Resolutions and Goals

Today, I am hooking up with Andrea at Momfessionals for her Show & Tell series. I love linking up and being able to find inspiration and new blogs to follow.

I don't have resolutions because to me that is either a make it or break it and I have never done well with resolutions. So I do goals!!!! Here is my list of goals for 2015.

Get Healthier - drink more water and walk 10,000 steps. I wear a fit bit and use it to help count my steps. 

Leave school at school - need to do this to make more quality time for my family. This means that I need to focus and stay on top of grading!

Have a special day with each one of my girls and also one with my hubby - We all need this special time!!! We spend time as a family but rarely do I get one on one time with each of them.

Spend more time in the Word - I want to find a good devotion to follow and be able to grow in my faith! Anyone have any suggestions?

Create some family traditions - not sure what I want to do here. I just know that I want things that my kiddos will always associate with our family!

This is the theme that I have chosen for me for the year.  I have it as the background on my phone so every time I do anything on my phone it is there!

Those are the goals that I have. I am going to run an update once a month to track my progress on each goal! 

Creating a Plan - Step One

So . . .

There has been a lot of things rolling through my life and head over the last few months. I have had a lot of change in my life and I realized I don't handle it well. I also have come to the realization that change happens whether you want it or not.

So . . .

I have decided that I need to make the best of the changes I have been dealing with and come up with a plan to deal with the change and make the most out of the blessings I have been given.

A very good friend of mine has been talking me through some of these changes and something she said to me when I was really at a low has really stuck with me. I had told her that I had no idea where to start and she simply told me that I needed to sit down and come up with a simple plan that I knew I could achieve and then keep evaluating that plan.

So . . .

Here is the plan I have come up with:
1. Drink less Diet Coke and more water.
2. Read my Bible every day.
3. Create a budget with my husband each month.
4. Walk 10,000 steps at least 3 times a week.

Now how to accomplish each goal is the next part of the plan. I think I will take it one step and prayer at a time and tackle each one at a time.

All I can do at this point in my journey is put my trust in God and pray and pray some more!!! I have chosen Jeremiah 29:11 as my theme verse for the year of 2015.

It is such a common verse but I know it is what I will focus on throughout the year ahead. Trusting that God's plan will unfold to me as He sees fit to show me! It is a relief to know that I don't have to plan everything because He already has the plan. I am nervous and excited all at the same time for the year ahead!
