I’ve been away for a while- moving into my new place (it means sadly that the flatmate diaries have come to end unless I find an imaginary character to write about), hanging out with friends and other stuff like that. I’ve also learned a bit about myself in this time. So I decided to write down a list of goals/ things to achieve this year- I know I’m 5 months a bit too late, but better late than never, I think.

So here goes:

1. I will strive to wake up by 6am each morning. I have this thing about sleep- I LOVE IT!!! Its one of my hobbies but I’ve been convinced in recent months/ years that I need to deal with my sleeping or more like, allow the Holy Spirit to deal with my sleeping patterns.
2. I would pay my full tithe every month. Don’t read this wrong- I pay my tithe- The emphasis is on FULL. Someone gave a talk before we gave an offering in church a few Sundays ago. She talked about how we should tithe on 10% before tax and not after. Right now, I’m tithing on 10% of my income after tax but I want to fully obey God’s Word and tithe on my income before tax.
3. I would spend time each day in the Word, and in fellowship with God.
4. I would get into work by 8.30am each day so I can leave at 4.30pm.
5. I would save 20% of my post-tax income each month.
6. I would give myself a shopping allowance each month and strive NOT TO spend above that amount each month.
7. I would stop being a sour loser. I tend to sulk a little when I lose at games/competitions :)
8. I would speak up and clarify things I hear or I’m told and not jump to conclusions in my head.
9. I would examine my motives before agreeing to do things for people.
10. I would take time to enjoy everyday life and the phase of life I’m in- being it in learning a new language (oui oui) or in reading up stuff on Economics.
11. I would be happy being me- Take pride in me, continue learning to love and accept me for me. I would always look up to God for my sense of worth and purpose AND NOT TO ANYBODY ELSE!!
