goals....

recently i've been pondering...Goals....the other night while cleaning at church one of friends asked another friend what her goals in life were...i half jokingly said, "i don't make goals, they all get squashed anyway!" But later i was thinking about it more and discovered that the may be more true then i really believed at the moment when i said it. I don't really have any long term goals as such....should i? or is the best goal to have consist of doing all we can for the glory of God? What it unconsiously my one overriding goal in like is to do what i can for Jesus? What all would that consist of? a few things i've thought of in the last several days.....
1.  be on the lookout for ways to help somebody
2. find ways to let my light shine....
3. be flexible
4. put my life on the back burner and wash dishes a few more times....gulp!
5. smile and be friendly to those ppl i cross paths w/ in Walmart...or anywhere else in town....

and that my friends, would be what i would call my goals in life....i wonder if one day i'll be able to actually do that?:-)

And that other desire/goal that single women generally don't verbalize but have anyway and might as well admit: to get married to a nice man and have a family. It is a worthy, God-given desire and nothing to be ashamed of. In His time. God bless you Neva with another year of happy busy ness. Happy Birthday. amg

Thanks Arla, well, yes, that would be nice...but another goal i guess you could add to this is that i can live life exactly where God has placed me now and not pine for something else...

ponderings...

Some times i wonder....why do i even blog? do ppl even read it? but then i wonder am i selfishly wanting ppl to notice? do they have to comment? I rarely comment on other's posts...so why should they comment on mine? I do try to comment all the time! but for some reason since my computer is so slow....the internet anyway...it tells me i'm not allowed to....so even if you don't see a comment from me know that i wanted to! and maybe that's everybody elses problem! the same one i have! their internet's being snotty! ha! ;) I love to read all the blogs i do read and wish like crazy that i could comment! so here a some comments i've thought about recently.... Amy...I loved your Christmas blog! and i know ya'll might get tired of me saying this...but it almost brought tears to my eyes...thinking as how we miss out on that kinda stuff here in South Carolina.....since everybody else...or a bunch of everybody else is way out there! But thanks for the pictures and all...

Hello to all....

I'm sitting in northern Wisconsin at my aunt's house figuring out how to use this! wow! i shoulda just started pushing buttons before....that's what she had me do! pushing buttons is what i do best when it comes to computers! ;-) cause that's what your do right?! This wireless internet is really nice...i'm going to have to get use to my slow phone at home again in about a week...I am supposed to fly home next monday....if the weather isn't bad...the weather has been lovely! I have been enjoying the crispness of the northern air! I will have to learn to endure the muggy wet of the south...i did it last year to i'll survive again! School teaching is something I love! i forgot how much i loved it until about 3 weeks ago when i began teaching again as a substitute teacher here at Northwoods...It was a little strange at first being in a new school and stuff but i soon got used to it and am loving it! now to get enough sleep to be able to function properly! :-) I ...

i Think it's time...

To go on a trip! I was thinking that i needed to get out my suitcase to pack to go on the camping trip and all of a sudden realized how odd it felt to be getting it out....and thinking back to camping trips before how it didn't feel so odd to get packed up....well, i suppose that means i've been working too much and not going places anymore! ha ha! This summer i may get a few excursions in here and there...but not sure yet if i will or not.....i am going to LA for 10 days, but there are a few other places to go too..... i mean i need to put my suitcases to use right?! :-) it's definitely time! ha ha! in other news...this weekend is the end of school....graduation....etc! I have to milk this evening because one of the sons of the guy I milk for is graduating....and the mama usually milks and she wondered if i would for her...i get the next 3 days off...so i'm milking tonight...
