I Want...

Since my life is taking on a new direction, I thought it prudent to figure out where it was I wanted it to take me.  The saying goes, "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time!"  So my goal is to aim at something worthwhile in the hopes that some day I may achieve it or at least enjoy the journey.  These are in no particular order.  Just written down as they came to me.

I want...


  • to be content with my blessings
  • to make efficient use of the space I have available
  • to make efficient use of my time
  • to build strong relationships with my family
  • to keep a home that is tidy and inviting
  • to cook as much of our food from scratch as possible
  • to grow a garden for fresh produce and preserving
  • to make do by reusing, mending, or making what we need with what we have
  • to be aware of what goes into and on our bodies
  • to be an example of a blessed life without consumerism
  • to teach other women how to be satisfied at home
  • to take pride in my work and my family
  • to teach my children at home throughout their high school education
  • to save money by cutting costs in practical ways like stockpiling, preserving, sewing, hanging clothes to dry
  • to be debt free
  • to retire with plenty and not be dependent on the government
  • to be a life-long learner
  • to make my own cleaning products
  • to treat our rented home as if it were our own
  • to say "no" to stressful situations
  • to enjoy simple pleasures
  • to read a little every day
  • to minimize whenever possible
  • to keep only positive influences in my life
  • to apply Biblical principles to all areas of my life including finances, marriage, children, home.
  • to find a mentor
  • to keep a positive attitude
  • to self-reflect often and avoid blaming others
  • to be open and available to God's leading even when I don't understand
  • to prepare for the seasons of life
  • to always be thankful
  • to be diligent
  • to be generous, kind, and empathetic
  • to age gracefully
