Life Thoughts: Goals, Priorities, I’m bad at Time Management

September 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

Almost daily I read several blogs, because not only do I enjoy writing on my own I actually love to read others. I came across this post by A Beautiful Mess and of course had to check out the blog they were mentioning. Looking further I found Elise Blaha Cripe’s post on goal setting and it was such a great read! Truthfully it gave me a much needed fresh perspective on creating goals…and mostly keeping them. I really think if you have time, read the post (you won’t be disappointed!).

Several months ago I wrote down tons of goals, honestly too many to count or keep track of. I want to start off small especially since my over achieving heart doesn’t line up with my lack of time management or life schedule (if there were only 4 of me…). So I’m breaking my list up into months to see how things go. Tonight I’m going to look through my list and by Thursday I will be able to share what each month will hold for me to complete! If you have any ideas or goals of your own save them until Thursday and we can share here or catch me over on my Instagram!

I’m really excited…this is going to be good. Now on to that list…

As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that be As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that because of the work done for social justice and continuously happening now, there are resources to celebrate diversity.

Growing up there were 2 options for hair - having “good hair” or achieving “good” hair through relaxers. Natural hair was reserved for mixed girls who had bouncy curls and length. I constantly wished to be “that” mixed girl, instead of seeing the gorgeousness of who I am.

Developing the confidence to love all of me and the hair that I have took years. Lots of tears and redefining beauty. 

I’m so grateful that our boys don’t have to wish for anything other than who they are. Being able to celebrate beautiful natural hair in all its texture has built confidence in them that’s priceless. 

So today I’m celebrating and thanking @youngkinghaircare for making even more space to diversify natural hair for little kings like mine. To remind them that there is value in exactly who they are ♥️ and WE SEE YOU!! 

The ability to find these hair products on storefront shelves now in Target is beyond amazing for our family. 

If you haven’t checked them out - PLEASE DO!! We love the product and the family behind it! #makedreamsreal #naturalhairboys
If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

Staying intentionally present and less annoyed at the little things. Also taking out my Nikon more this month 📷

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry
