Keep showing God gratitude at the amazing things He's done in my life and how much He's blessed me through my work, family and friends. Keep being as creative and as learned as I can be in my career. Do as many things possible in my upcoming travels, keep searching for God's will every day and ensure that every decision I make is in alignment with His will for my life.

Let's see......my goals....
1 to organize our finances both personal and business (makes it easier for me to see what we can cut back and what we need to order more of to get better discounts)
2. Get our household item cost budget down!
3. Travel more (even one-day trips)
4 Last but really first.....keep working on my relationship with Christ, wherever that leads me.

Ooooh and develop a more creative, healthy menu. :)

Getting a better handle on my food addiction and working out more are ultimately at the top for me.

Less anxiety about things that I cannot control, more initiative and action on matters that require it, the patience to allow these things to happen, and the right frame of mind to accept the results. In other words, let go and let God.

I'd like to change my job, I'm trying to be led by God in this. Sometimes I wish I could start this life again - you know rewind back to the age of 16 or even 18 and do it right this time?

To be serious, which is known to happen occasionally:

1. Defend my dissertation and graduate by the end of December of 2017
2. Read through my religious studies books and gather some new ones
3. Make more progress on my off-grid preparations and work on the cabin some more

The work that God has started in you He will certainly complete. You have done it right this first time around. Yes, it would be great to be young again with loads of energy and drive and that will happen too in another time and place.

I do pray that God leads you to another job that's more suitable and satisfying and less draining. I pray also for your husband to be more sensitive to your needs and for him to become more spiritual in his walk with the Lord and the same for your children.

2017 may be a great year all around with blessed assured hope of exciting days to come. January 1st will be the dawn of a new tomorrow.

I'm actually really starting to dislike my current job. Seeing this reminds me I gotta bring this to God, also.

I'd like to stop traveling and settle down somewhere... But perhaps God has other plans. He always surprises me.

Finding my best friend would be nice too (please, God?). Preferably a dude that is cool, but as long as he loves Jesus I'm good.

These were the same goals set for 2015 and 2016, so hopefully 2017 is my year!

I'm still looking for my man of God at my age of 45. I didn't look too hard this year but maybe next here with God's guidance.
