what is it about a new year?
every blog i read, i find myself nodding along to - yes, it's true. we love a new start don't we? a year is stretching out in front of us and we're unsure of what it holds and how it will end up, but it holds so much potential doesn't it? so much possibility. so much life.
tomorrow le boy and i are a taking advantage of an unexpected day-off and spending some time planning our year. we'll do this individually and together. together we'll focus on what we'd like to achieve as a couple, how we want to handle our finances and where we'd like to travel.
individually, it will be well, personal to each. for me, i'm hoping to create a small journal for 2013 where i can assess my intentions monthly and keep track of things such as books i read, crafts i make, places we travel, memorable incidents, memory work i undertake.
additionally, i'm hoping to use this resource from simplemom.net to set intentions for 2013. and to use the seven signs of spiritual life, ideally, i'll go through this quarterly so that i can assess where i'm at spiritually and grow in my relationship with jesus this year.
i've made a printable so that i can keep it in the back of my 2013 journal, ready to hand.
this comes originally from a sermon by our worship pastor matt southcombe at st michael's southfields.
finally, i'm challenging myself to undertake the three marriage habits.
i'll check back in soon with a recap on our day-away. so looking forward to this!
Yes, there is something about a new year, isn't there? A feeling you can make anything you want out of it. Thank you for sharing this!
