Goals Achieved in 2008

Saturday December 27, 2008
What goals did you achieve this year? Last year I achieved some great goals and this year I've continued to make and achieve my goals! I lost another 15 lbs this year (yeah!) and through putting real effort into my study of the word of God I have drawn so much closer to the Lord.

This year many of the spiritual things I pondered and learned more about were:Through a healthier lifestyle, both physically and spiritually, my joy and happiness have greatly increased. With the upcoming year I will continue to make and keep goals that draw me closer to Christ, including serving others with a sincere heart.

What goals did you achieve in 2008? What are your goals for 2009?

I love looking at goals set and reached…thanks for posting Rachel!

As for me, I also lost 15 lbs….10 to go this year!

Let’s see, what goals did I accomplish?

-I built up my family’s food storage to 3 months worth. My goal this year is to get it up to 6 months worth.

-My fam paid off $6,500 of debt. I’m hoping to pay the rest off this year.

-A family goal was to take a family vacation. We were very blessed when my DH won a trip to California from his work.

I’m so excited to set new goals for the year, and to really focus on boosting my spirituality level this year!

Mark: No, I didn’t get married this year but I have a wonderful boyfriend and unless things change we’ll probably end up married, which would make for a great goal to be completed in 2009. Thanks for asking!

Evelyn: Wow those are amazing goals you accomplished this year. Congratulations! Actually achieving your goals is a wonderful feeling.
