Goal Summary

Now that we're almost 1/12 of the way through 2012 I though I would share some of my goals for this year.  I have been thinking about these things for the last few months and here is what I have come up with...

• Spiritually: This is the section with the most subpoints, but I also think it is the most important.  I desire to come to know more about my loving God.  I hope to read through the Bible in a year again.  I am also striving to memorize one verse a week using the fighter verses from Bethlehem Baptist.  I am striving to be more purposeful in my prayer life.  Finally, during my time at home I am involving myself in a Bible study with other women and when Michael and I get married I am hoping we can get involved in a small group with other couples.  
• Physically: I am striving to exercise at least 5 days a week.  Currently I am taking part in an exercise class with my mom M-F.  
• Intellectually: I really want to read more.  I am hoping to read at least one book per month and I am right on track for that as I completed The Help in January.  
• Odds and Ends: Learn how to make origami flowers for the wedding (met this goal this weekend, but still have A LOT of paper folding to do) and I also want to improve on my cooking skills so I can feed my man yummy meals.  

Thus far God has been gracious in giving me success in these goals.  It is my prayer that I will be more purposeful this year.  I want to be more intentional in relationships.  I want to learn to love Michael more each day.  I do not want to be selfish with "my" time (which really isn't mine anyways). 

God is good and to be praised.  I am thankful for the growth that has occurred in January and look forward to what He has in store for the next 11 months.
