Happy New Year!

We are now 4 short hours away from the start of 2014. 240 minutes. 14,400 seconds remain between now and the next year. Sounds dramatic, huh?

There are changes coming in 2014. As Heraclitus said a few thousand years ago, "The only constant is change."

Here is a list of things I would like to resolve to do/see change in the coming year, in no particular order. This list is subject to change, as I change.
  1. Make a habit of getting into the Presence of God daily.
  2. Concentrate on my marriage and work on my relationship with my husband.
  3. Get on the bone marrow donor registry. 
  4. Retake Financial Peace University and get back on track with our financial goals.
  5. Buy a car.
  6. Pay off at least $20,000 in debt, knocking out all but 2 of our debts (student loans)!
  7. Get started on prerequisites to get into nursing school.
  8. Focus on taking care of my health, losing weight and kicking PCOS in the face!
  9. Invest in other women and get into a discipleship program.
I am really looking forward to what this year will bring! I think that so many people get hung up on the semantics of "resolution" vs goal or plan. I fully believe that in order for any of the things in my "plan" to become reality, I must be resolute, that is determined to make them happen. 

I will use this blog to keep myself motivated and also to stay excited! It's easy to start strong, but I want it to be said of me that I finished well. 2014, I believe you will be the best year yet, and I believe that my best moments lie in front of me, not behind me and that I can laugh without fear of the future! 

Tomorrow's post will be looking forward to 2014 and laying out more specific goals for my resolutions, one by one.
