It's that time to ask myself, "Self, how're you doing on your goals?!"
Goal 1 - Catch up on scrapbooking
*I just need someone to shake me and say "this is what you're doing." I still can't decide whether I really want to make the digital change - even though I KNOW it's the smart thing to do because of money and time. GRR!!!
Goal 2 - Become active/involved at Cornerstone
*DONE! PK Sunday School room, new small group, and tried out for the Cornerstone band last night. :)
Goal 3 - Get trained in foster care
*DONE!
Goal 4 - Become conversational in Spanish
*Not happening. :)
Goal 5 - Save up to buy a nice bike
* DONE!
Goal 6 - Have a garden/do some canning
*Plan is to have an inside herb garden instead. That can count, right?!
Goal 7 - Work through my elementary curriculum
*DONE!
Goal 8 - Level 1 Kodaly Certification
*DONE!
Goal 9 - Finish a marathon
*Re-evaluate - I've had some personal set-backs that have made me re-evaluate whether or not this is a good goal for me at all. I might change the goal to a triathalon...thoughts? I find that I get to about 12 miles for training and my body starts falling apart. And since I like my body, I'd rather it not fall apart. :) But I do hate changing goals once they're made...
Goal 10 - $18,000 of student loans paid off, $4,000 in savings
*Still working away and set to meet this goal by Christmas!
AND: the +1....
Goal 11 - Be more intentional with communication/interaction.
*Going back to work has definitely decreased the amount of time I have at my disposal to communicate/interact with others. I'm realizing that I need to be intentional with the people I come in contact with daily, and then choose a few to be intentional with otherwise. I'd say I am improving...unquantifiable goals are hard to assess!
Extra Goal: Read 24 Books
*Up to 18, working on #19, and have my last 5 books just waiting on the shelf!
FINAL REFLECTION: I feel great about the progress, but always hate realizing that some goals just aren't going to happen. Oh well...I guess that's where I learn how to show myself grace! Sometimes that's a hard lesson to learn!

Bearing Fruit
Jesus is changing me and making me bear fruit even when "I don't wanna!" Who knew bearing fruit came with so many emotional break-downs!

You impress me. I LOVE the goals you have set for yourself and really like hearing about your process.
I think you should be VERY proud of yourself.
Do a triathlon, it's so much cooler anyways. Oh, and an inside herb garden sounds awesome!
Love you!
