I didn't want it to become a year of rules and ticks on my list but I do function on orderliness and planning. The difference would be committing my plans to the Father first.
Here is the list of my 2018 goals!
y e a r l y
- memorize one book of the Bible
- purchase all my christmas gifts by October
- become CPR and First Aid certified
- complete a year bullet journaling
m o n t h l y
- stick to a strict budget to save money this year
- complete my February RAOK
- devote to praying through a passage of Scripture for the duration of the month
w e e k l y
- prepare for the coming week by writing a list of coming needs
- publish one blog post
