2015 Goals

I just started going to a women's group on Wednesday.  I'm really hopeful that it will boot me into living a deeper life with God this year.  I was so nervous and shaky, maybe because I had a lot of coffee that morning without breakfast, or maybe it was the presence of the holy spirit, and/or anxiety/insecurity.  Either way, I was so thankful to have switched up my work schedule so that I could live a part of my week with these amazing women.
This week, we went around and shared our 2015 goals.  I had been thinking about them but had not completely formalized them.  So when speaking them out and now writing, I feel like they are more focus and more of a prayer.  So Lord, have your way in 2015!

* Trust the Lord for growing our family this year.  We would love to add another child this year, whether by becoming pregnant or by foster/adopting.

*I will potentially have more time to myself due to Eddie being in grad school and Shep starting a daycare. Some fun options for this extra time would be: get another part time job (nurse practitioner, cooking school instructor, volunteer at a community garden or refugee liaison), trail run more, clean our house, read books/Bible, do foster/adoption paperwork, study healthcare more, etc.  I'm excited to see what may unfold. My goal is to enjoy the slower/simpler time while I have it and pursue things that are life giving.

*Lead an exploratory mission trip to SE Asia with the Fellowship.

*Run MidMountain Marathon on Sat, Sept 12th if I'm not pregnant.

*Learn how to parent, teach, discipline, and love Shep better.  I know, it's not a measurable goal. Deal.

*Incorporate fasting into my life regularly.

*Do the Deliverance Class through the Fellowship.

So there we go.  Again, I'm looking forward to seeing how this year will play out and all that God has in store.
