In 2009...

I copied this idea.

1. What skill do you most want to learn this year? How to play the guitar. I have been attempting to teach myself for a year now and my schedule just wont allow it. I hope to find time over the summer and discipline myself to learn, which is going to be a challenge. Those of you who know me well understand why:)
2. What is one skill you already have that you’d like to improve this year? I don't consider myself someone who has skill in anything really, but I would like to improve myself in writing. Writing is something I have always enjoyed, I just have never been really good at it.
3. Name three books you most definitely want to read this year. I want to finish reading Twilight, The Protector and Wild at Heart.
4. In what specific area do you most want to encourage others? To follow the plan God has for them this year and in the future.
5. Think of one of your major life goals. What will you do this year to take you one step closer to reaching that goal? Follow the Spirit and build a stronger relationship with the Lord.
6. What is one of your strengths? Think of some specific ways you can exercise it this year. I cant think of a strength. It will come to me later.
7. What is one of your weaknesses? What are some ways you can overcome this deficiency? Lack of discipline is a major weakness. Set small goals and begin taking steps to reach them. Ask God to give me discipline and work hard to get it.
8. Think of an important relationship. How will you nurture that relationship this year? Serve. Love. Prayer.
9. Name a few ways your physical health could be improved. I need to drink more water. I am so bad at not doing that.
10. Name a few ways your financial health could be improved. I need to save more and spend less.
11. In what way do you most want to draw closer to God? In my prayer life. I have a hard time praying as much as I should and I would like to be better.
12. Have you ever written a personal mission statement? If so, what would yours be for this year? No I don't think I have. My prayer for this year is that I would learn to love God and others with a selfless Love and that I would willingly follow Gods plan for my life this year and in years to come.
13. What is something that is continually undone in your life? What will you do to fully complete it this year? My sock drawer is always a mess :) I plan to organize it, and keep it that way.
14. In what ways will you work to better the world around you? I will continue to teach Character First in the schools and show love to the children I come in contact with, as I lead them to have a life filled with responsible choices.
15. What is one place you would like to visit this year? I would love to go anywhere. Preferably somewhere I can take a plane, since I have never ridden in one before.
16. What is your greatest hope for this year? To live in a way that brings glory to my King.
17. Think of three words you’d like to describe your 2009. Change. Discipline. Trust.
