January 2015 Goals

Goals for January 2015

For a long time I didn't believe in New Year's Resolutions, and I still don't in the sense that I believe everyday is a new day! 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3

But I just have too many things that I want to improve in my life. As I get older, I see more and more that I want to change. 

I saw this 52 week challenge that I want to do this year. I may not need to work on every topic she lists, but I will be posting my thoughts and improvements as I go (not each week! Hopefully, each month!)

I also have this list to work on during the weekends: January is Office Month!

My third goal is to read one book. I started doing a book a month 2 years ago and really benefited from it.

Fourth, I want to connect meaningfully with some extended family at least once a month. This is just an area I am lacking in, and I want to do better. I should be doing more probably, but baby steps are better than nothing! I'm not going to post whom beforehand but afterwards!

My goal ALL year to speak positive things- to my spouse, to my kids, about myself, about my circumstances. 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue Proverbs 18

A soft answer turns away wrath, Proverbs 15

Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16
