With a new year comes new goals...right?
Yeah, not so much.
Usually.
This year though I've made some really simple goals. I would have made them at a different time of the year, but it just so happens that they come at the beginning of a new year. Perfect!
My hubby and I (and our two girls) have been blessed with a really fantastic church that faithfully preaches the Word of God at every opportunity! We are in a place where we are growing so much from week to week, and we are so thankful! We are being challenged in our spiritual lives and so a couple of my new goals have sprung from that. Here they are:
1. My hubby and I have committed to studying the books of 1 and 2 Peter together. To help us in our study we bought a study guide that we're working through together.
2. To go along with studying 1 and 2 Peter, I have committed to memorizing both books by the middle of the year. Broken down, that is roughly 6 verses a week. For me, memorization comes fairly easily so this isn't too daunting of a challenge for me. As a child, I participated in a program called AWANA, where I memorized Scripture every week. Most of the verses I know now are from that time. I also started to memorize the book of Ephesians a few years ago and got part way through chapter two...it's amazing how much of that I still remember, years later. I am SUPER excited for this goal! This week is 1 Peter 1:1-5--and I'm well on my way!
Those are the main two goals that I've made this year. I have some other goals floating around in the back of my mind that I'll share later.
I'd love to hear what your goals are for this year? Maybe I'll even steal a few of them!
