new year, new goals

Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing holiday, followed by time well spent with your family and friends. This winter break, I was home for the holidays. I go home often during the college semester, but it was nice to be home for the past few weeks. My break was full of rest, family, and resetting for the year to come. This year, my family was home Christmas day which was an adjustment for us, because we usually spend it at my great aunts. My sister got sick and so we decided that being home would be best for everyone. My sweet boyfriend came over on Christmas- he always makes it a goal to see me Christmas day, even if that means stopping by just to give me a hug. I don't know how, but he has kept this tradition for four years now. The Monday after Christmas, me and Matt went with his family drove up to Gatlinburg for a few days and it was such a treat. He dragged me to the pool and we went into the city and played video games- Hot girl stuff obvi. When we got back, I worked almost every day to make up for all the days I had off. NYE rolled around and we watched football as a family -with Matt of course, and I worked some more. And now were here, me typing this projectingly long blog post.

I have a lot of aspirations for this year, and as a way to keep myself accountable as well as hopefully inspire you readers, here are a few:

  1. I want to make more a priority to post on my blog. When I started, I told you all, once a week, and I have definitely strayed from that. I am officially shooting for once a week, and by February I plan on choosing a day that I post on regularly.

  2. I would love to start journaling. Not something too involved, but something to write down ideas and draw, write down my goals in. I am currently looking for one so if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know!

  3. This is a crazy 2023 goal, but I want to end my year as a college junior. This past fall I was a freshman, and this spring I am a sophomore. Fingers crossed if I work my booty off I can make this goal happen. Many may ask why I want this for myself so badly and I have had many people tell me that I am missing out on the college experience by doing this. I don't really see it that way, I am a homebody and I know what I want to do with my life. I will touch more on this in a later post, but for me, college seems like another obstacle to surpass.

  4. I think this is always a goal for any student, but I want to get good grades, and feel good about the grades I receive. Additionally- I want to learn. Not just pass my classes, but take something away from each class.

  5. I want to deepen my relationship with God. I want to begin to read the Bible and study God's word, as well as find a home church in my college town- I want to have a sisterhood of people I can go to and I can trust.

  6. I want to start tithing regularly. I am not really sure where quite yet, we are. currently in between churches right now, and I want to use my tithe for good- to help God's children in the best way possible. I know that wherever it goes, it'll be God's money and he can do what he wants with it, but I want to put it in good hands.

  7. Lastly, I want to deepen my current relationships. This year, I want to spend more quality time with my family and create more memories with Matt. The people in my life right now are so important to me and I want to keep them closer than ever.

I truly hope you all have an amazing year to come! Please share with me some of your aspirations for the year to come and I will pray over them. Keep being you, and work so hard this year.


xoxo,

rach
