First, progress not perfection is going to be the byline of my blog this next year ;). I keep trying to read the whole Bible in a year, and last year I only made it until May :(. I WILL finish this year! Health is always on my list, and although I'm probably older than you, my husband and I have been trying for a family for a while, and this year may be looking into adoption as well if IVF isn't in the cards for us. Anyway, I love your goals and wish you the absolute best in 2016!!Angie@Chasingmyhalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963022048118913269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948826063083852664.post-31590172707728428212015-12-30T23:34:51.331-07:002015-12-30T23:34:51.331-07:00These are great goals to have!

I also love that you are getting off social media for the weekends. I think I really need to do something like that. I spend entirely too much time on it, when I should be focusing on my family.

First, I love h...Sooooo many things to comment on!<br /><br />First, I love how you mentioned chasing progression. I think that's one of the biggest misunderstandings of our LDS doctrine by both members and non-members-->we aren't try to be perfect because we simply can't. We are trying to eternally progress.<br /><br />Second, Justin and I saw star wars 7 over break, so we decided to rewatch the movies and discuss each one. Last night we just watched episode one and talked about why one of the big reasons people didn't like it was because of how much time Lucas spent on world creating. We talked about why it was personally so important to Lucas and how beautiful (even though CG'd) all the scenery was and how that is similar to all who create. We mentioned how it is an inherent trait in humans to want to create, become super involved with their creation, and have it be their pride and joy. We realized that is because we are literal children of God and that is part of our Godly powers working in us.<br /><br />I LOVE your second goal. I really want to grow my blog (community wise, not necessarily for stats) this year, but I don't want to be always glued to my computer screen. I need to work on that too.<br /><br />To be completely honest, too, we are also taking control of our finances this year by moving into my parents' basement in three weeks. We can't afford where we are with only Justin's salary, and we both feel that for the time being, my place is at home with Rhys and not in a classroom. It was a hard pride pill to swallow for both of us, but we feel that God will bless us for making that sacrifice. And, your goal five is why I AM a SAHM now...I was not doing well emotionally, as you should know reading my blog this summer, so I did what was best for me and quit working and got on anti-anxiety/depressants <br /><br />You definitely have such a gift of encouragement, Brooke. Seriously!<br /><br />I am so jealous you have a treadmill! Really, the cold is honestly why I haven't done too well with exercise!Tayler Morrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079669861116201650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948826063083852664.post-36848210559696385512015-12-30T09:18:57.035-07:002015-12-30T09:18:57.035-07:00I definitely want to focus on taking care of mysel...I definitely want to focus on taking care of myself whether that's physically, mentally and emotionally. I lost track of healthy eating, working out regularly, and being mentally and emotionally healthy. So, that's my number one focus for the year. kiara catanzarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868352537291881346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948826063083852664.post-53107795010452634772015-12-30T09:08:13.519-07:002015-12-30T09:08:13.519-07:00These are wonderful goals for 2016!

I c...Okay, so I'm obsessed with the first goal. I cannot wait for my Write the Word journal!!! Also, definitely looking into that Bible study journal, I love that you're devoting at least one book a month from the Bible, looks less intimidating.<br /><br />I also use my phone way too much at night, so I'm trying really hard to wind down by reading a book after 8:00 and to try and be asleep by 9:00 or 9:30. It really helps and I love it!<br /><br />Deseret Book has a lot of books on marriage, I have so many on my to-read list!!<br /><br />I'm totally going to try harder on our finances this month. I am so happy that you're so close to pay off your down payment mortgage. That's exciting!!! Brady and I are also going to try harder to pay off debt alongside saving money.<br /><br />I'm so with you on the Visiting Teaching. I'm in Nursery so I've just felt as though that is my calling and I'm good. When in reality, VT is an on-going calling... you never get released from it.<br /><br />ooooo I love the studying the Word of Wisdom.. That's such a good idea!! :) I love reading while I'm on the bike, or elliptical... I can't really do much when I'm on the treadmill except watch tv, but that usually helps the time go by. Maybe I should use my nook on the treadmill so I can just press the screen to change the page..... hmmm ideas!!<br /><br />I love the foster care goal. I have definitely given that MUCH thought and I have a close neighbor who just went through foster care and recently adopted their children and were sealed to them. I really hope that can be something Brady and I can do!<br /><br />My institute teacher once said, "Bed to knees, knees to bed." And I love that. It's so powerful. Prayer is really hard for me as well, and I struggle a lot. But I think if I put that right alongside scripture study, after about 3-4 weeks it will become habit.<br /><br />Great goals girl... we're seriously soul sisters. I'm so excited reading this post... ha!!<br /><br />xoxoAshley Zieglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330561462339960719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948826063083852664.post-77945213728321390002015-12-29T08:29:24.223-07:002015-12-29T08:29:24.223-07:00These are some wonderful goals!

I love that! I (like you!) just loooove making goals, but it's way too easy to tie our worth to it. <br /><br />This really is a lot of goals and I admire how ambitious you are! A lot of these are really great, creative ideas. I love how you want to be an encourager. I know that you are through your blog!<br /><br />I can't wait to here an update about how all of these are going! I hope you have a beautiful, blessed 2016!<br /><br />Allie / callmesassafras.comAlliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497313007456591101noreply@blogger.com
