2014 Goals

 
[1] Be generous.
God has really pricked my heart recently about being generous. I know that I am a kind person, but I feel the Holy Spirit precisely laying the word generous on my heart. Be more generous.

As it is written:

[2] Be present.
This is pretty much a repeat from the 2013 goals I wrote about here. Let it be known that I am always excited for "the next thing." My husband lovingly (and necessarily) calls me out on it whenever I get ahead of myself. I need to repeat this goal as I still strive to live fully here. Now. In the present.

2013 Goals

[3] Be creative.
As a result of our decision for me not to teach when we moved, I have been blessed with lots of time to create. This blog and Cheers Y'all [the shop] are evidence of that! And to think that I was only intentional about those two things starting in October/November...I am elated to see what a whole year of creating will bring!

My sweet husband bought me this gift for Christmas. I had no idea he was going to do anything like this! It meant the world to me. I so appreciate, cherish, and adore his support of my creativity. 


I've always said, "I'm not a painter." But we shall see! With this little encouragement from Mark, it's worth a try.

    Your #2 goal is one I have for this year as well, "to live more in the moment". I always get excited for things that are days and weeks away that I forget to just live in the moment and see what wonders are around me at that time! Hopefully 2014 will help both our hearts to open up more to loving the moment we are in :-)
