5 Things I Want to Accomplish this Month

Comments: (0)
I plan to make measurable goals every month and at the end of the month I will assess how I performed with these goals.

1. Finish reading Romans and complete the Bible Study Questions I printed off the internet. I am really picky about the information that I read online, because there are people who are in disguise as Christians. The Bible warns us about these kind of people in Matthew 7:15. This was one of the points he touched on in the Sermon on the Mount.

2. Control my thoughts and have patience with those who do not understand God's Words. There is this lady who always want to talk about her problems. Generally it is the same problem. My answer is always the same. The truth is the truth. There is no getting around it.

3. Stress less. Sometimes I feel like everything MUST be completed at that time. It's like I don't always have time for myself.

4. Begin a journal of my thoughts on what I want out of life. There are so many thoughts that I seem to think about and hope to remember. It is a task, because in whatever situation I feel obligated to be 100% there.

5. Implement my Bible Study with my daughter. Or better yet schedule time that incorporates the whole family in reading God's word.

Bye 2010...Hello 2011

I am excited it is a new year. Last year I didn't make any resolutions, because I knew that I would not stick to them 100%. I do, however, want to reflect on the reasons I created this blog. I kind of revised them a little.

1. Grow spiritually. I am still sticking to my reading schedule. I plan to create a Bible Study for my daughter. Well I am in the process right now. I will upload them as I do them. I don't have much time on my hands but I will stop whatever I do to include God's Word.

2. Finances- Well I managed to pay off all my debts, but I am working on my student loans. I need to start saving for my dream home. I managed to get a new job. Yay! I enjoy my work as a paraprofessional. I take everything I do seriously. When I am at work, I am all about work. When I am at home, I am all about my routines. I spend time with my daughter and husband. I finish my assignments on time with school. I keep a well ran home. Although my husband is the Head, I have to make home comfortable for us. He works so hard so I want to make sure when he is at home, it is all about relaxing.

3. Health- I plan to eat healthier or I should say snack healthier. I have a thing for Buttered Pecan ice cream with caramel sauce.

4. Hair- I have been going natural since February of last year. Well, that was the last time I permed my hair. I still have permed ends but not much. I still don't think I am going to do the Big Chop. My head is shaped funny underneath this hair.

5. Education- I plan to finish my Praxis Exams for LA and begin student teaching by August. I hope this plan works out. It is pushing my boundaries though. But I do have faith.

********************************
What I have been up to?

I am designing a program to help the students in the classroom I am helping out. It has been a challenge but it is a good thing that I know where the struggling areas are. I work with autistic children so reinforcement of basic skills is necessary. One student has never been in public school. I love her presence. I love all of them. They are so much fun. I love my new job.

Designing a Bible Study for my daughter. I want her to learn the expectations of the home. She is 5 and sometimes she tries to "try" authority. This is definitely something that I don't want to occur. Besides her knowing the expectations, I want her to know God for herself.

That's about everything.
