I've become quite obsessed with the color blue. Having tons of fun decorating my home. And that is "Jake" my Russell Terrier mix puppy. Hanging out this lovely Saturday... doing absolutely nothing. Dropped off the daughter to music practice... got the truck washed, cleaned up the house a bit. What's for dinner? Awesome day.
Graduated last year, but celebrated this week... so I've had a chance to look back at my success and to speculate. Many have told me how proud they are as well as what an example I've been. Me on the other hand felt as though I have only done what I've always ever done. Gone forward and pray to God that I make it past the next obstacle. Which when I ask, I always get through. It is a warm and fuzzy feeling that everyone can "pat me on the back" and be proud of me. It was an honor to be celebrated. Of course all of those who congratulated me were the same who helped me reach these goals. It is crazy how this world works. It takes a village. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by people who Love me.
Life is hard some days... but it is good. Having teenage girls is scary. Keeps a mama praying. I am thankful for my pastor for days like these past few. God... save my children lest I die! Also having vacation bible school this week has been a blessing... these kid bible lessons have been written for me. Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 47:10
So now that I'm settled in my life, what shall I dream of? My life is calm. My life is free. I am settled at peace. Going forward... not looking back. All is well.
My plan is to stay in my home, in my career with my children for the next 8 years while my children grow. I am staying here. What do I dream of during this time? What do I dream of after? I need tangible goals. I need to declare these goals. So here goes.
Goals for the next 8 years:
~ Pray: get more intimate with God
~ Be the best mother
~Be the best wife
~Be the best employee
~Keep my home
~Work for God, do my part
~Grow
~Memorize the Word
~Be a soul winner
~Participate in missions
~ WRITE
Goals for after the 8 years:
~Continue with my previous goals
~Become debt free
~Become published
~Be known for my good works
~Follow God's lead
~Being used by God my biggest priority
~Be an influential women
So... today was a lot like most others. Work children ... today though Kyndra wasn't home. I miss her.today I was reminded that God loves me no matter what. I feel stressed about money, which I haven't for quite a while. Talked with Javier on the phone. With zero conflict. I chose watching tv over talking to Cheryl. I felt accomplished at work. Bought a father's day card. Turned off the air and opened the Windows. Hmmm... I crave more! I'm missing God. Church should not be all I have. Nor should I miss any services. Hold me Jesus, cause I'm shaking like a leaf. Ahhh it's midnight. Off to sleep now.
