In this post, I wanted to discuss some goals that I've accomplished in 2019.
Permit (One step ahead to my driving goals) - Yes, i'm a latecomer but I am one step ahead now. I was able to finally get my permit and managed to have a pretty decent picture despite the nerves that I was combating that day! I truly believe that 2020 will be the year when I'm finally able to drive, I can't wait until that day.
Started Volunteering at the Library - Starting a volunteer job was a goal of mine for one, I needed another type of activity to keep me occupied other than work and I believed it was a good way to get my foot in the door to help me get a job at the library. I have already learned so much by being a volunteer at the library and I'm looking forward to what I will learn this year. I also feel that the library is a good fit for me because I love reading books and of course I would like to write and publish some books of my own.
Developed in My Social Skills - Though I'm still pretty shy at the start, I definitely believed i've grown in 2019 as far as social skills go. I felt more comfortable talking to both customers at my workplace and coworkers. As I expressed a more confident me and happier me, I began to notice more people attracted to me. If I don't believe i have anything good going for me what makes me think people would believe that i have anything good going for me either? I've read in a few articles how smiling is attractive, and not just for guys to notice but smiling is really a good thing generally. I wanted all people to notice that I have a cheerful side.
I Got Outdoors More - This past summer I felt like I was more motivated to walk, go to the park or just sit on the bench outside. I wanted to make an effort to try to do something outside daily if I could. I did go on a few walks, I sometimes just sat and pondered on some of God's beautiful creations such as the sky, the river and the flowers. Not only did it relax me and allow me to enjoy fresh air, but it also helped me feel a bit more independent. In 2019, it had seemed like it was the year when I really didn't have much freedom and my parents had seemed like they were really strict. I was sad about that quite a bit, that's what motivated me to go outside more and by doing so, I felt a sense of peace.
General Things I Did and/or Learned - I feel like I got closer to God and that my faith had endured. After the passing of my grandmother, uncle and great aunt, all dying pretty close together; it made me begin to make the most of life. Though I'm still learning how to do that, watching a lot of my family members leave this world has definitely been an eye opener for me. I also feel like I gained knowledge in some areas as far as, writing, computer skills, and business. There's things that I've learned how to do like managing my money better, cooking and things to eat and do to keep my body healthy (again, eating healthy is still something I'm struggling with. A girl has to have her Mcdonald's).
Some of the highlights of 2019 would be Passion and the Cross production at my church, that's always been an exciting time for me every year! I can even remember some fun times at work that I had with my coworkers and making new friends at work was also a highlight of 2019, Trunk or Treat, Shawn Mendes concert and Casting Crowns, Hillsong Worship and Elevation worship concert was some really amazing moments of 2019.
Now... onto 2020. I have some pretty big goals for 2020 and some things that I'm praying for.
Get a Car - This is something I'm really hoping for because it's been so hard to make plans and commitments with no transportation of your own. Not only having my own car more convenient but, I would be a lot more independent. Having my own car would be a huge life changer for me and my siblings. I believe it's the time and I know that God can do it.
Get Involved with the Young Adults Ministry at My Church - I grew in my friendships in 2019 but not as much as I could've. So I would to be able to grow both in God and in my relationships.
Travel - It's always nice to explore other parts of the world.
Get a Better Job - Preferably library or school.
Take Courses in Creative Writing - Because I'm always willing to learn all there is to know about writing.
Have a Big Birthday Party - Especially considering I'll be 25 this year!
Have a Fun Day Out With Friends - Because I'm really due for one
Form My Own Writing Group - It seems to be a really cool and fun thing to do. Hear stories and get inspiration from fellow writers and just to be able to learn about each other as well.
Be More Independent - Being able to do things for yourself is such a great privilege.
Grow in My Relationship with God - Generally taking more time to prayer and read the Bible everyday before any other thing I do.
Grow My Blog - I believe this blog has great potential and I'm willing to continue to keep working hard on it to make it better and better.
Write Daily - Whether it's a few sentences in my journal, blog or social media I believe that there's great growth for any aspiring writer to write something everyday and even great therapy for me as well.
Every year and everyday, my aim is to always find ways to improve myself. I want to love more, forgive more and be more patient. I want to believe in myself and feel good about myself. I want to trust God wholeheartedly and give my all to Him. I want to be a better Christian, a better daughter, a better sister and a better friend. I know that God is shaping my life and he's going to work through in unimaginable ways. I ready for growth and renewal in this new season.
