Today, on the first day of the year, I am excited to get a fresh start with new yearly goals that I hope will make me better professionally, personally, and spiritually. I have mapped out my goals below:
1. Before being a missionary, a teacher, or director of a school, I am a wife and a mom. I am making a commitment for this year to set aside one evening a week to spend some quality time with my husband. For me, that means turning off the phone and computer and having some time face to face. There are many weeks that will be impossible due to us being in separate places, but I can still keep that time dedicated to him to pray for him.
2. I am committing to give an afternoon or weekend morning a month to be quality time with my kids. Maybe it means watching a movie together or maybe having a special Saturday morning of board games. My kids are only little once and I want to savor these moments with them.
3. Professionally, I have been terrible about systems this year. I am looking forward to implementing some new systems to help me with Thank You cards and responding better to emails. With the help of an amazing leadership team, I believe this as well as many other things will be a lot easier to manage.
4. I also am challenging myself to take a seminar in education to help me continue to be a lifelong learner.
5. Spiritually, I want to grow closer to Jesus. I need to implement more spiritual disciplines in my life. I hope to set aside Sunday mornings, before church, to pray regularly for our supporters. I want to be more diligent in fasting for specific things.
Here's to a year that I pray God will be glorified through our life.
