I took a class a couple of years ago called "Create A Year of No Regrets" with Christine D. Hegstad, Ph.D and it was a great class with many ideas on new ways to think. (Her website is http://www.meaning-and-purpose.com/) However, I failed becauase I didn't follow through with what was taught to me. So I thought that this year I would blow the dust off the handbook and try again. I took the time to sit down and really focus on what I want to accomplish in the next year. It too about two hours which in the scheme of things isn't really that much time. The first goal I am focusing on has to do with my spiritual life. It seems that I am making less and less time for God these days. It isn't anything intentional, but I am also not doing any intentional to stop it.
My goal is to work on my relationship with God and teach my son Owen about the importance of having a strong relationship with God.
Charlie and I signed up Owen for Sunday School in the fall which he has been attending and seems to be enjoying it. I am planning on continuing this with Owen, but also working on taking him to church with me when Sunday School isn't in session.
I also have signed up for an eight-week bible study through my church (A Quick Journey Through the Bible) and I went to the information session last Thursday night. I am a little nervous about doing this, as I haven't ever done something like this before. The people were wonderful and they are so excited about taking this journey together.
Lastly, I am working on being more present when I am at church on Sunday's. I don't seem to have a problem going to church, that is something I have been doing. I have a problem of being present there mentally. I have a tendency to let my mind wonder about what the day and week will bring me. I want to mentally be more present with God on Sunday mornings.
I feel like I am well on my way with my first goal of my spiritual life. Now onto goal number 2 my life with my husband, son, family and friends.
