Seven for Sunday

Happy Sunday Bloggy Friends!

I can't believe it! I forgot to post a Seven for Sunday last week! I think I was sidetracked with it being my daughter's birthday and announcing the giveaway winner...yada yada yada. Bottom line - I simply forgot. Oops.

That said, I did remember this week. :-)

You've probably seen me write this before: I don't like New Year's Resolutions. I honestly believe they set you up for failure before you even begin. Goals, on the other hand, I'm ALL about goal-setting...as long as they're measurable. Having short-term goals are good, having long-term goals are important too, having lofty goals are fun...but, only if they are all measurable. So, as I began setting goals for 2011, these are 7 of the ones I wrote down. And...while a couple of them might seem vague, I have written, measurable ways of determining if I'm on track with them. I can honestly say that 1 month in already...I'm on target with 5 of the 7. I'm a little behind on two of them, but I'm actually working on all of them! It's going to be a great year!

Seven Goals for 2011:

1. To know God better...
2. To know God's Word better...
3. To lose weight...
4. To serve my family better...
5. To become a better time manager at home...
6. To write more...
7. To fast regularly...

What are some of your goals for 2011?

  1. That's a great list Leah! With the busyness of my life, I haven't even had time to think about goals. But this weekend my man and I are purposely going to fast and get away to a quiet cabin to do just that! I will more than likely add a few of yours to my list.
    If you think of us this week and weekend, please lift us up in prayer as we seek what God wants us to do next.
    xoxo
