New Years Resolutions MOM

I did not always look forward to New Years and making goals. I would make goals with no action plans and the year would fly by and I would be discouraged. I don't remember what year it was another Christmas when daddy bought me yet another planner and taught me how to make an action plan for each goal. Also my motivation to make the most of everyday from Ephesians 5:15 . aheart change from with-in change my motivation. So this year when I pulled out my 2009 I was excited to see where God had grown me with a little discipline on my part, and this further encouraged me to continue in the good work He had begun in me!

Continue to walk 40 minutes 3-4 times weekly during the nice weather and hit the pool come summer with a goal to swim 20 laps up from 10 after my water aerobics

Also have 2-3 hikes/month planned until it gets too hot!

5.Take 6 week EKG class at work I have been putting this off for 2 years and it's on my evaluation this is the year!

Sounds like a lot but is is really increasing last years goals with a few extras and I am confident in this that He who had begun a good work in me will continue it until His return or the end of my life here on the earth . I am excited and encourage as I look for ward to how God will grow me in 2010! To Him be the glory great things He has done!
