However, I find myself wanting to do a few resolutions...I want to better myself for the Lord and His purpose for me. Whether or not you agree or believe in "religion", wanting to be a better person is a good thing that I want to do.
Here's a few things I'm looking at doing this new year:
- Losing some weight...at 146 lbs, I am the heaviest I have ever been...lack of exercise, stressful times, careless eating, and such have added on the pounds! I would like to lose about 20 pounds...to start off, I am doing a cleanse through my company Beyond Organics...here's more information:Suero cleanse Hopefully I can loose a few pounds through that, then keep eating clean
- Starting my business, for REAL! I want to get my catering license, I would even like to start my own restaurant, Lord willing!
- MOVE OUT! I desperately want a house....it is partially out of jealousy, partially out of "need"....I cook so much and the apartment is just too full of cooking supplies, food, and of course, Daniel's board game collection. We don't have a washer or dryer either, which is just...awesome...we get to pay 3$ a load of laundry....and the washers often smell, and the dryers overheat, and sometimes a tired neighbor takes your laundry and returns it a day or two later to the laundromat....yes, I want a house...need or not, I want to get a house while the market is good!
- Go to Romania for my 3rd trip there. I really want to go back to Romania this year with my church on a missions trip!
- Get pregnant....CRAZY I know, we've been married over a year now...providing we can get a bigger place....it wouldn't be such a bad idea....nope, we aren't financially ready...in fact, we probably aren't ready at all...but we would love our child and raise it as well as we could. There's also some hurdles to get through, so it won't be "easy" for us...prayers appreciated!
- Get my life into a good routine...I don't clean the cramped and crowded apt. as often as I should...my work and catering schedule is ever changing, I'm either exhausted, or just not home because of being so busy! I either want to work out and can't because of sheer exhaustion, or get to working out at a decent pace, and then my schedule gets nuts again, cracking down on that will be hard! Ahhh...self discipline!
- Spend more time with my husband....Daniel's main love language is quality time...and the one thing I have very little of, is time. He loves to play video and board games with me, I love to walk in the local parks, or ride my bike....we definitely need more quality time together!
- Get back involved with "the arts". I used to play the piano (quite well actually) and I love ballet as a child...I would also love voice lessons. Part of good jobs, good schedule, etc...falls under this...if I can get control of the rest of those things, I can get back into some more "fun" things :-)
- Get my health coach certificate...yes, I have a science degree...I would really love a health coach certificate to help people get healthier! (and get paid for it!)
- And most importantly, really seek the Lord! Seek His purpose for my life....pray...not so much to talk to Him, but to listen! Get deeper in the Word....become a better follower of Christ and a better testimony to Him!
Here's my 10 resolutions....take 'em or leave 'em...
