goals

All through college I was asked what my goals were. I struggled everytime to think of something. Now don't get me wrong I don't feel I am aimless wandering through life with nothing in mind, but I never felt there was really anything of that much value I needed to do with my life. I mean someday I hope to be married and have kids, but even if I don't it will be ok. Because ultimately God is in charge and I trust Him for what my future will me, I never felt the need to think about it. I know that as long as I am following God and seeking to please Him everything else will fall into place.

And while I still believe the above, recently this idea of having goals has changed. Thanks to an amazing God inspired woman, Beth Moore, and her Bible Study called Breaking Free, I now have 5 specific goals in life. And would like to share them with you.
1. To know and believe God. It's so easy for me to believe in God yet I so often doubt His unfailing promises in my life.
2. To glorify God. I want all of me to be all about Him.
3. To be completely satisfied in God. I often look to so many other things to bring fulfillment to my life and only when I seek God will that void truly be filled.
4. To find peace in God. I get caught up in the world, but only in Him is everything else at bay.
5. To enjoy God's presence. When I am wth a physical friend I enjoy being around them, in the same respect but even more I desire to want that with God.
So there ya have my new goals, and I know I won't always be the best at keeping them and striving toward them, but ultimately this is how I want to live.

Noni Fun Fact: I like to wear vests.

red and blue

So here I am thinking I would go to bed early because I was up late the last two nights. Wrong. It seems like this happens everytime, I feel tired, but my body is definitely not going to sleep anytime soon. So lucky you, my reader, I will blog instead.

I went to Lawrence on Friday night to see one of my friends play in his band. Now I'm not very musically inclined, but I was impressed. I mean anyone who can play the trumpet and keyboard at the same time is pretty awesome. Royal played some pretty sweet tunes. Anyways, I found it so refreshing to be surrounded by red and blue, now those are my colors. I always enjoy being in Lawrence, it's a fun town, but I am also always glad to go home. I don't think it's a place I could live, at least not right now, even though I am a KU fan.

Noni Fun Fact: I like to cook, today I made some cookies that taste like a Reese's. So good and simple to make. Thank you Rachel Ray!

slacker

Slacker is an accurate description of my blogging lately. I mean it's been over a month. I find there are generally two reasons that I slack on blogging. The first is I just don't have anything to say. The second is I have too much to say and too little time to get it said. Either way, no good excuse for me for the month of September. I was just a slacker.

Speaking of slacker, have you tried Slacker Radio? If not I highly recommend it. It helps us get through the day at work. I mean I can create custom stations that cater to both my tastes and that of my co-worker. Or I can listen to one of the 100 plus pre-made stations. Good stuff or as some might say...Winning!

Speaking of work, every Friday we listen to Rebecca Black's Friday song. It just isn't Friday until we have, I mean with such innovative and informative lyrics how could ya not? For example for those who have problems with the weekend days there the lyrics that say: yesterday was Thursday, today it is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards. Genius, I mean now I really know my days of the week now. All this to say that I would like a Wednesday song. I really like Wednesdays, probably one of my favoriter days of the week. And I feel it deserves a song as good or better than the Friday song.

Noni Fun Fact: I enjoy Beth Moore Bible studies.
