Goal Setting for 2014

This year the Mr. and I want to set goals for our family. We want a productive year. With the kids staying at home most days and exciting new changes happening within our family (stay tuned), we want to make sure we stay focused!

I’m excited. I’m pumped. Let’s get started. Wait...how do we get started?

This is something TOTALLY new to us. We have always been that ‘go with the flow’ couple. We did what we wanted, when we wanted (within reason, of course) and enjoyed all of the curve balls that may have come our way.

That worked when it was just the two of us. Even when Caleb came along we managed. Jeremiah showed up...things started changing. Now that Leah is here we MUST have a set schedule for mommy to keep her sanity. :)

So in preparation to organize our lives, goals setting popped up. What exactly do we want to accomplish in 2014 as a family and as individual members? More importantly, what’s the first step?

So I head to the author and finisher of our faith to ask exactly what to do. Before we do anything this year, we want to PRAY! Ask God for guidance, assistance, and grace to get through. We want to make sure we are aligned with His will and not our own.

Our goal is to please Him!

Last year we were good about praying, but not so much when it came to listening! We prayed over situations and went forward with whatever we wanted to do. Never waiting on the Lord. We do believe that God is FAITHFUL and His Word is TRUE, so we need to wait on the Lord and not seek our own desires...but HIS desires. God does and will answer prayer!

Pray with us for direction, wisdom, and strength to make it through another year to give God the glory as we stay focused with being Ambassadors for Christ.

I look forward to sharing with you our goals very soon!
