I posted my 2008 Goals a month ago. Wow… I can’t believe its been a month and now we are in
February!
Anyway, I promised to post how I am going to make sure they are accomplished. I think I have figured out how to do this.
I thought it was such a great idea to know how I was going to get my goals done. Most of the time I just make goals and then don’t know how or when I want them done, so I don’t end up doing them. This year is going to be different. It is a new year and a new me!
Here is my plan:

Get into God’s Word everyday — I am going to make sure I get up EARLY and read my Bible first thing. I am going to have to go to bed earlier to accomplish this. I am going to make a Bible Reading Journal. That way I will know and remember I read it and what I read and also so that if I have any thoughts or feel like God is telling me something I can write it down and remember it.

Talk with God daily — When I pray I am going to actually talk with God, not just to Him. I am going to pray in the secret. God wants to have a conversation with me. He doesn’t just want me to ask for needs and He definitely DOES NOT want a repeat prayer. He wants me to pray to Him and talk to Him. I will make sure I actually take time and have a conversation with Him like I would any of my friends. (I am actually working on a post about prayer. Be looking forward to it.)

Be a better example — I need to be Jesus to my family. I need to act like I am suppose to. The way I am going to accomplish this goal is by having Jesus change my heart about many things. I can’t do it. Only He can. I will accomplish this by doing the 2 above things.

Work on my shortcomings — This is the same as above. I can’t fix these, only Jesus can. I will take time and get into the Word and Converse with the Lord everyday, so He can show me what I need to work on.

Finish high school — I am going to actually get my books out and just finish what I need to. I am going print off the requirements list Mom made and check off what I have done, so I know what I need to do.

Get a laptop — This one is kinda hard. I don’t have a job that pays to do this. I have come up with some plans on trying to earn enough money to be able to purchase a laptop soon.
Working for Mr. Schenck 1x a week
Helping Dad with the taxes and getting some of the return.
Sell the Horses.
Not buying anything that is NOT a necessity.
Build templates and sell them.
Hopefully with those plans I will have enough saved up soon! anyone need a template? lol…JK!

Get the wireless network set up — This requires actually going and purchasing the right parts. I don’t think it will be very hard to get it set up and working once I get the stuff.

Sell the Horses — Really the only thing I can do to accomplish this is to get some signs out in town and pray. I won’t go house to house asking if someone wants to buy the Girls. lol. I can only pray God will bring the right person to come and get them.

Lose weight and get in better shape — This also requires getting up early and doing Tae-Bo when no one else is up. When it gets warmer I will be getting up earlier and running on our country road.

I want to see my Great Grandpa and Grandma saved — To accomplish this I can only pray for them and show them Jesus through me.

I really want our house finished — There is not much work I can do out there, although I know how to do alot of construction work. I can, however, clean up the garage and organize Dad’s tools and put everything where it goes, so he can work on stuff or have a contractor come out.

Learn CSS like I know HTML — Practice, practice, practice. I am just going to have go over my template and mess with stuff to learn css. I actually know CSS, it getting it on WP and making designs for WP that I need to work on.

Learn Photoshop CS3 so I can use it proficiently — Same thing as above. And maybe get a Photoshop CS3 for dummies. haha…

I am really dying to see the Suarez’s — Well this has been accomplished to an extent. I got to see the Suarez’s a couple weeks ago, but I am missing them as much as before again… sigh. I really wish we lived ALOT closer!!

Scrapbooks caught up — We need to film developed before I can actually scrapbook pictures. We have about 10-15 rolls and disposal cameras we need to get developed from 2006-2007. We are a little behind. This is partly accomplished because ‘Auntie Christina‘ surprised my family and got 10 rolls of film developed for us. HOW SWEET!! I was her secret pal helper as she did this for us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Learn to play guitar — First we need to get a guitar. Rachel’s got broken, we don’t know how, but I don’t think it is fixable. So we need to get a guitar. Then I need to find someone who can teach me how to play.

Become a better seamstress — I need to take my time when I sew. I am always in such a hurry to do things. I need to slow down and actually care how my stitches look. I also just need to sew more. I am going to come up with some projects and actually do them.
A few I have thought of doing are:
Cloth Diapers. We need some more because the ones we have are looky pretty ratty and old. Of course, they are 4 years old and have gone through 3 babies/toddlers.
Lucy’s Raspberry quilt. I have had most of the material for this since last May. I need to get some more and just do it!
Some cute skirts. I see so many cute skirt patterns at Wal-Mart. I think I am going to buy a few and make the skirts.

Well… that is how I plan to accomplish my 2008 goals. I know I shall be adding more goals to my list for this year and more ways to accomplish them. I sure hope I can get all these done. I would love to have such a prosperous year!
Have you any goals you want to accomplish in 2008? How do you plan to accomplish them?
I hope you are going strong in your goals and accomplishing them!
Love, Blessings and Prayers As Always,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!
