What I strive for in 2009!

[robynlee80]

I have been thinking a lot about different things in my life and I have some things I want to strive for in 2009!

1. I want to be the best Christian I can be for God and the best for everyone I am around.  I want to be the best I can be for God and I want to give Him total control of me.  There has been too many times that I have taken it back and done what I wanted to do but no more I want God in control to be the best I can be.

2.  I want to be the best wife I can be to my husband.  For that I also need God in control to help me and guide me in this and many areas of my life.  I want to be the best for him, be the best wife I can possibly be, and be what God wants me to be for my husband.

3.  I want to be the best mom I can be for my kids.  I know I have slacked in this area and I want God to mold me into the best mom for my kids.  I need help with a lot of things for this but I know God can transform me to be the best.  I love my kids and I just want to do the right things with all of them.  I want to spend more time with them, be more patient with them, and to know how to handle whatever comes up with being a mom. 

4.  I want to read the Bible everyday.  I want to be able to read through the Bible this year.  I haven't ever read through the whole Bible so I am really wanting to this year.  Before stuff would always get in the way and a big one was myself not being able to concentrate and I would pretty much give up.  I need God's help for this one too but I really want to do this.

5.  I want to get rid of clutter in my home and to keep it clean at all times.  I'll admit I have slacked in this area and just recently it's like I became a complete neatfreak and wanted everything to look nice.  I want our home to be inviting for when people come over that they want to come back soon because they are comfortable here and always picked up.

6.  I want to have a little time to myself everyday.  This has been a hard one to even have a minute in the bathroom without one of my kids barging in, but I want to make time for myself.  I need even just 5 minutes everyday and I am hoping to make this happen.

7.  I want to be able to spend more time with family and friends.  I hope to be able to go to Texas and Ohio to visit my family there.  I miss them a lot and want to see them badly.  I want to be able to spend more time with friends here and to be the best I can be for my family and friends that I will be spending time with.

8. I just want to succeed in my goals this year and throughout the years to come.
