New Year Resolutions...

The New Year rolls around, it doesn't feel like it was that long ago that I was thinking of my goals for the year that we've left behind.

I'm happy to see that I did reach some of those goals I put for last year, others like , "This year I'm really going to exercise and get back in shape" ..well... I stayed faithful a few months but for one reason or another I let lethargy and discouragement beat me. I'm not cutting myself any slack in that department because I'm a firm believer that if you want to do something, it doesn't matter the odds, you can and will do it. It's very easy to find excuses for myself , but in the end, they are just that , excuses.
I'm happy to say though that one of my goals for this past year was to become more profesional and organized and methodical in my job/ ministry, and I have.

Back to the goals for this year,I've been thinking a lot about my personal goals for this year.

When I think about goals almost the first thing that comes to mind is that quote that says that if you have none, you are sure to reach them. I don't want to be like that.
I have goals , there's things I want to do this year and other things I want to see change in.

The truth is I see people embarking in exciting, ambitious new projects for this new year, while I feel I'm basically going to do the same I've done for the past few years, I would love to do something showy and exciting like that but after praying and thinking about it I've reached the conclusion that, for this year, kids are gonna be my mission, and their hearts my mission field.

I've dedicated the past few years to teaching, it's a rewarding job, monotonus sometimes too.

I know, not very showy, a kind of behind the scenes job maybe, perhaps when my kids are older I'll have time to do gardening, art, more witnessing, set up a business ... who knows...for now I'll keep whashing their dirty hands, changing their diappers, teaching them to read and then write, showing them algebra and the amazing world we live in.
