Long Time Coming

It's been a while since I last posted. This blog was to be for goals and motivation. After I found out we were going to have another baby, had to move from TX to AZ and then get life settled there I took a break from blogging on 2 blogs and did what I could with 1. Now that life is slowing down a bit I may be able to keep up. The family blog is all about the family. The Goals blog is about my goals and desires for the family and myself. It's a new year so new beginnings...right? I may fail and have to start over but at least here I'm writing about them and trying to keep up with them.

There are so many things I want to work on this year and many more that I need to work on. So here's hoping I can think of them, write them down, do them and follow up/through with them.

To begin with I think the first thing I want to work on is my spirit. I want to attend all 3 meetings at church but not only attend I want to get something out of them. So far so good as I did that today. My sub goal from listening at church is to work on making my fasts much more effective. Which leads to my first need goal. I need to work on getting things in order to find a new job. That too has a sub goal that I have been working on. I found and updated my resume. So see I'm doing good already this year!

The next goals is to fast for help in deciding what to do with my life since I now need to do this. I have some time before my job officially ends but I'd like to have everything lined up for a smooth transition. So I'll be fasting, maybe more than once, to not only find a job but one that will be good for me and my family. One that can support us and that will have health insurance. I'm considering going back to school so maybe my fasts of job will also include school and if that's the right thing for me and my family.

I will try to focus on these and post about how things are going with them in the next week or two.

I also want us to have good Family Home Evenings. I want a good lesson that applies to us all and for us to really and truly work on making our home better. Since I have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off I think we can make this work. We can plan the lesson on Sundays and give them on Mondays. Sounds easy enough but life gets in the way. If Sundays are better than we'll have FHE on Sundays. Maybe I can follow through with this one by posting on what the lesson was on and if there was an activity. Maybe I can even take some pictures!

I think this is a good beginning.
Fasting and making it more effective.
Fasting for help in finding employment and/or going to school.
Having good Family Home Evenings.
Reporting on all of the above.

I can do this and with any comments y'all may have I know I can stick to it and make them habits. Habits that are worth having! Here's to the New Year!
