2014 goal recap…
You may remember that I set up 65 in 365 for this past year. Lesson learned… 65 was pretty ambitious for one year, and to be honest I did not even do the final update. We will put things this way, I did not cross everything off on the list, but I am okay with that. I see that so much happened in the last year and there is so much yet to happen this year!
Andrew and I also had a word for 2014…
The Lord worked so much through this in our lives… we learned a lot about how we don't really need as much as we think we need!
2014 goals…
I like clear specific goals. Ones that I can cross off a simple list. But life is not always simple, right? So what to do about my goals, and hopes, and dreams this year?
Well… I still have some, because by nature I am a list maker ;) But they might frustrate me a bit this year because most are not necessarily things I can just cross off.
They are flexible and seasoned with Grace and hopefully most focused on Christ!

What about you? Have you set goals and a purpose for the next year? What are they?
I enjoyed this post mainly because I realized whether or not we reach every single goal we list, the list keeps us moving forward & stretching throughout the year. So in a funny way, it truly does achieve its goal :) May you & yours have a most blessed 2015!
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared about your 2014 goals, Stasia. I didn't make a list like you did, but I would think even if you didn't reach each of these, it would bring a sense of gratification when you did reach some. They say that those who set goals are more likely to reach them--even if it is at a point beyond where they had hoped. I think that's true! Thanks for sharing and encouraging all of us to grow and stretch! Happy New Year too!
