Before making new goals I think it's incredibly important to look back to what I've recently experienced -- to set realistic, attainable goals. I made this list, separated into 4 sections [the idea was given to me at church and I thought it was great!] to help me organize my thoughts on the year.

After pondering on my reflections, I decided it was time to formulate some hopes and goals for the year to come. It's important that I learn from my memories and to understand that God has the ability and power to change the future. That my experiences have built a foundation for where God can take me in the future. I don't want to focus on only 1 resolution for the year, because well, quite frankly I couldn't come up with just one. Instead, I came up with a list of smaller, achievable goals in multiple areas of my life, from my relationship with Christ to my traveling.

As I wrote these hopes for 2015 in my journal, my spirit was excited. These are things that I truly, deeply desire to accomplish. Not because I want to look better in my bikini or to earn extra cash or gain recognition for an accomplishment, but because these are things that will joy into my life. Things that, if accomplished, will make my heart happy. So I am anticipating this year with jubilee. I am eager to make these hopes a reality.
So where will God take me this year? I'm not sure yet, to be honest. And when I say not sure, I mean I don't have a clue. But I am praying for something... something big. I want God to use me in a great way this year. I don't know how exactly, or with who, or where it will happen, but that is my desire. At the end of 2015, I want to look back and say, 'Wow, God did great things this year because I was willing to let go and to let Him work through me.'
