I am not a person who has a list of New Year’s resolutions before the brilliantly lit ball drops at midnight. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was serious about a resolution. I mean, who really achieves their goals?But after conversations with friends, I realized it was wise to make some goals for this upcoming year (which leads me to blogging again), and I thought I would share them.
In 2012 I want to:
Become an official Georgia resident. This includes registering to vote here, change my driver’s license…deep breath….giving up my Oregon’s license is a really big deal….don’t know if I’ll ever be ready, and switching my license plates.
Save up some money, and travel to a place I’ve never been to. Now that I live in the South, there are so many places to explore….do I travel to Savannah, Georgia? Explore Hogwarts? Meet up with a friend and explore the Northern States, or visit good friends in the Midwest? Oh, a grand adventure awaits!
Stay in better contact with family and friends from back home. I want to be more intentional with this area of my life, whether it’s by blogging more consistently, creating space to write letters again, and phone calls. I have so many wonderful people in my life. It’s a true blessing.
2011
I completed Mission Year, a program that has changed my outlook on life. This year instilled new values and convictions. My life isn’t as comfortable or easy as it once was, but my heart is full, and I’ve seen God move in my life unlike before.
I decided to say goodbye to a state I love, full of people dear to my heart. I moved back to Atlanta with no job lined up, or place to live. I was able to witness the sweet ways God provided for me right when I needed it.
I lived the majority of this year in Atlanta. This is where my life is, and I believe whole-heartedly that this is a start of a new beginning. I wait in hopeful expectation for 2012.
