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.
