Revisiting 2009 Goals – February

Crystal posted her great goals here at Biblical Womanhood. She has challenged us to share our progress each month…it’s only been 1 month so I have a lot to keep working on! so here goes…

Here’s my original 2009 Goals post.

Goals for womanlyexcellence.com
Well, I’ve definitely not let blogging become priority lately as you can see from the lack of posts! The other goals of blogging more about God and getting back into the Proverbs 31 study are still IP!

Personal Goals
working on my spiritual discipline (this is something that I’m sure I will ALWAYS be improving. I don’t think we can ever outgrow the need to be more spiritually disciplined!)

OH and I’m adding a goal here! TO FINISH SCHOOL! I’m an online student at Sessions Online Schools of Art & Design… I’m finishing up my Graphic Design Certificate with dual concentrations in Branding and Web Design. It is very flexible and self-paced. They have been so awesome-I was able to take a leave of absence when Jadyn was born and I’ve gotten extensions here and there. My program deadline is September and I am determined to get it done! My struggle here is finding time to allow just for school work, with three children home all day and a husband who is home most of the day (because of his shift), it is hard to set that time aside.

Household/Family Goals

  • I have re-created and implemented a cleaning schedule again! woohoo! I’m still tweaking it to fit our daily schedule and it is a work in progress but it’s a start.
  • One thing we wanted to do was to have people over more often for dinner, or whatever… we were blessed to have some friends over for dinner in January! We’ll be having our 3rd Annual Valentine’s Party in a couple weeks and hopefully dinner with some friends later on this month.

Just for Fun…if I ever find the extra time!
One of my goals was to read more…if I find the extra time! I am currently reading The Shack, which someone let me borrow! (Thanks, Pastor Eddie!!)

Blogging and revisiting our goals is a great idea and very helpful in accomplishing them! Visit BiblicalWomanhood to follow other’s as they reach their goals for this year!

a quote from a friend :)


I am so blessed to have reconnected with a good online friend of mine (via Facebook!). I have to share what her facebook status says:

Dahlia will not only survive, but will thrive in 2009.

Thrive-

1.To make steady; prosper
2.To grow vigorously; flourish

AMEN SISTER! Let us thrive in 2009!

I also want to share Dahlia’s blog, she is such a creative and anointed woman of God! She is an inspiration to me! Oh yeah I met her at scrapbook.com and back when I started at sessions.edu for my design certificate, I told her about it and she started attending. Now we are both set to finish this year! We will definitely be encouraging each other to get it done! Love you Dahlia!

2009 Goals

I do not really like to set New Year’s Resolutions but I think a new year is a great time to focus on what areas of our lives we should improve or change. For us, some things have just gotten out of whack because of the holidays, schedule changes, etc. and we need to get back on track. So here are some personal goals and some things the Lord has shown me, personally…

Crystal posted her great goals here at Biblical Womanhood. She has a mr linky up so we can share and post our progress monthly :) Thanks for the inspiration, Crystal!


First, I have to say I am so thankful to God for doing what He has done through my blog. I’ve never had a blog before and it has been amazing being able to share my thoughts, my faith and just share my little revelations of God with you. Your feedback, comments and emails are so edifying, thank you. I can go back through the posts since I began this blog and actually see how God has grown me and I cannot wait to see what He does through 2009.

Goals for womanlyexcellence.com

  • Blog more about God — such as reflections from my quiet times, etc.
  • Continue my Proverbs 31 study
  • Be sure to limit my time blogging/reading blogs so that it does not take priority

Personal Goals

  • I have loved blogging these kinds of posts but the Lord has shown me that I need to make sure I do not keep that behind the computer screen. My goal is to be bold and speak the things of God to people around me, friends and family and not just online.
  • Be more spiritually disciplined– especially in terms of the time I spend before Him listening (necessary for all of the above goals!)

Household/Family Goals

  • Have a regular family game/movie night
  • Get the kids more involved with household chores
  • Get back on a cleaning schedule
  • Do a Bible & educational lesson of some sort with them daily
  • My husband and I have a heart for hospitality and we have always wanted our home open to friends but we become so busy and self-consumed, so our goal is to set dates aside (maybe monthly?) to have someone over for dinner, or something.

Just for Fun…if I ever find the extra time!

  • Get some photos scrapbooked in the kids album (I am getting so behind!)
  • Read books (Jeff gave me the 3rd book in the O’Malley series by Dee Henderson, which I love for Christmas 2007 but I have yet to finish…just because I have not had time to pick it up!)
