Here we are almost ten days until the end of the month and I am just now getting around to posting about this month's goals. In some ways it is a good thing. Example: it means I have been out "doing" instead of just planning and posting. Good. In other ways it means bad things. Example: I haven't been as disciplined the last two months to get the goals I had planned, done. Instead I have just rolled over like cell phone minutes.
Ugh. This is teaching my perfectionist nature a thing or two.
Onto this month!
#5 - I need to deposit my first amount of money for completing some things on my list! I don't think I'll do this every time but instead tally it up after a block of time.
#7 - I need to come up with a post to compile the things that have gotten done. I need to see progress. This is a way I can do that!
#8 - Zephaniah 3:14-20 is my goal for this month. Verse 17 has always been of large importance to me and the parts around it needed to be added to my memory.
#9 - I have started Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahany with my mom, sister, and a friend from church. I plan to start another now that I found my box of books! =)
#13 - Done!
#31 - I have actually achieved this goal for this month and I couldn't be prouder of myself. So many times I would start strong and then fall from determination. I know it has only been three weeks but I have stuck to it. Longer than I have in the past!
#32 - I am doing the 21 day fix workouts. I plan to actually try the meal plan and shakes along with the workouts. For now I am using it as my challenge this month. I have gone through the workouts one and a half complete rotations.
I think this is all I am going to be able to put together for this month. Next month I may try to add a project or two but for now I am enjoying scratching things off the list!
Happy January!

5 on Friday
Happy Friday People! So thankful the weekend is here! I've been doing an experiment with my sleeping and I have come to some interesting conclusions! All that to say, I am thankful that Saturday is tomorrow.
So, first 5 on Friday for 2015. Excited to get into some rhythm. Even if it is for Fridays only for a while.

I made up a hairstyle the other day. It take my long locks and makes it a third of the length with this braid! It is super fun and I love it! Maybe I'll try a tutorial. Shh, you didn't hear that from me!
[two]
My weeks back with Boogs have been filled with "ptend birfdays" with playdoh and introducing him to jello! Goodness they were a match made in heaven!
[three] Sometimes I like to find pictures in the craziest places. I love how the trees reflected in a water droplet on my windshield the other day!

THIS ARTICLE folks! This says it so well. I never expected to think this through like this but this, THIS is it!
[five]
It wouldn't be a week without a new song discovery! This week's version courtesy Bethel Music. They recently came out with We Will Not Be Shaken that we recored late this past summer. This song has surfaced and it has been on a constant loop. They put into words what my heart feels so often. Just complete overwhelming surrender and peace being wrapped in His grace. Listen. You won't be disappointed.
Happy Weekend! Mine is to be filled with family and no responsibilities. Ah. What are you up to?

another year over
a new one has just begun.
And just like that it is the second day of January. I'd like to think that I am packing away the memories of 2014 with fondness but I'll be pretty blunt and honest. It took a great deal of hard looking at the truth to remember the good in this year. In comparison to 2013 you may ask what I have to complain about. And you would be right. However, in many ways 2014 was, at times, harder.
Even in light of what I just said, 2014 also held a great deal of growth. Just like all growth it was accompanied with pain, but it in the end it made a beautiful chapter in the story.
I am not determined to make 2015 a year of anything. I know that leads to disheartened discontentment and failure. I am determined to do one thing. That is, give this year. All 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days to the one that made it. Wake every day knowing and proclaiming that this is the day the Lord has made. Waking with rejoicing on my lips and being glad in it. I don't know what it will hold and I am ok with that because I know who holds it.
Happy 2015! May the peace of our Lord and Savior be with you! Looking forward to what lies ahead!
