I choose my word for the year by looking back over the previous year and recalling the ways God was at work in my life. I think about the blessings and the trials of the year, and I review the passages of Scripture that were most precious to me during those times. As I mentioned… Continue reading My Word For 2020

My 2018 Goals – End of Year Review
2018 was not at all what I expected. I thought that the things we walked through in 2017 were pretty much an end unto themselves, and that the lessons and truth I learned then were given for those trials. 2017 was the training camp for 2018. The lessons I learned about God and about myself… Continue reading My 2018 Goals – End of Year Review

For me, goals are not simply items on a checklist. I don't cross them off the list and move on - my yearly goals… Continue reading My 2018 Goals
My Word For 2018
I've never chosen a word for the upcoming year - as a matter of fact, I'm pretty new to goal-setting in general! As I began to think back over 2017, I realized that even though I didn't assign a word for the year, last year's word was grace. I learned so much about grace as I… Continue reading My Word For 2018

My Goals For 2016 – A Year of Lessons
Setting goals for the year was a new thing for me in 2016. My main goal was simply this: I wanted to be wise with the extra few hours in my week. I began 2016 with a part-time job, unlike the rest of my post-college years where I've worked full time. As I look back over 2016,… Continue reading My Goals For 2016 – A Year of Lessons

You can read about those three things here, but they have to do with the three areas of playing the piano, cleaning the house and making friends. Now that I'm more than a fourth of the way through the year, it's time… Continue reading What I’ve Learned From Setting Goals
