Happy New Year... Now lets set and accomplish these goals!

For over 10 years my mom has made Goal/ Dream/ Vision boards and eventually my sister and I made them too. A dream board can be an actual board or wall filled with things that you want to bring to life. This could include goals you would like to accomplish, the way you would like to feel, words, photos… anything you need to motivate you to live out your dreams.
 
The bible says, “Write the vision; make it plain…” Habakkuk 2:2. I always believed in writing out my vision, rather it’s for life on a dream board or daily when I write my to-do list on a calendar. I would always make long term goal boards, and if I didn’t accomplish everything or if life took a different turn I would often be left feeling like, “what’s next?” I’ve kept the boards, and though my life has definitely had some unexpected turns, I still hope and plan on accomplishing all those goals on my older boards.
 
For 2018 I decided to give myself goals just for the year. I never loose sight of my big dreams but accomplishing those smaller goals will help build to the larger ones. October 1 I started my board for 2018 of some simple goals, and left Space so that as life happens this year I can add to it.

Some of those goals included:

• Grow closer to God... read the Bible more, pray more, trust him more
• Go back to school
• Grow my hair out to waist length... my sister Precious is #HairGoals​​​

• Workout more, yes Precious is #BodyGoals too lol! ​

• Get a new place... I even cut out photos of what kind of furniture I want
• Get a new luxury vehicle for my birthday in June.

In October I started looking for cars, just to see how much the ones I liked cost, the best places to buy cars, and to have an idea how much down payment I would need. There was no immediate deadline so I would casually look when ever I had free time. I found a couple that I liked and my mom and I went to look at them, not really intending on buying just yet. I just wanted to narrow down my search, and know exactly what I was believing God for.  Within less than two weeks I was driving off the lot with a deal on a car I couldn’t refuse! All this happened a couple weeks before my other car (a Volkswagen Beetle) was in an accident.

God works in mysterious ways, all that time I was thinking I would wait several months, but it wasn’t about my timing… its about God’s timing! I bring this up not to brag, but to show that when you trust God to fulfill his promises on the desires of your heart you can’t loose!

✔ 2018 goal accomplished in October 2017! 

• Start a YouTube Channel

I’ve wanted to start a channel and re-launch my blog for years, but out of fear and laziness I never really pursued it. (There are still some old blog post from many years ago that I’ve chosen to leave on the site.) though my life may or may not be that interesting, I figured I’d be open, transparent, and share my journey with you.

✔Launched January 1
 
Sometimes life happens, it takes turns, you get lost, and you may or may not find yourself. But never loose sight of who and what you hope to be. Though a dream board isn’t going to solve all your problems (we all have them), it’s a reminder of what you want. 
 
Have long term goals but also make short term goals to help you accomplish those big dreams!
 
Don’t compare yourself to others, you have your own timeline.
 
Someone else’s journey doesn’t have to be your path.
 
Create the life you want.  
 
Live your best life.
 
You can do it!
 
Life and death is in the power of the tongue! 
 
Live Marvellously,
Love,
