My 21st birthday is less than 21 days away. Most people look forward to the freedom of drinking alcohol in public. I look forward to the legal age of foster care in Virginia. I care about a lot of things, but this year I want to focus my attention on just 21 things that really matter. Not to say that I won't go on a tangent, but I want to try to keep my mind set on a short list of long term goals.
1. I want to invest time in my family - both my immediate family and my extended family.
2. I want to turn the terrible twos into the terrific twos
3. I want to read more
4. I want to foster children
5. I want to live a frugal lifestyle - learn contentment
6. I want to show more mercy - forgive more easily
7. I want to graduate college
8. I want to write more - a blog counts right?
9. I want to make healthy life choices
10. I want to bless other people
11. I want to exercise my God given talents - theatre, poetry, exhortation
12. I want to have a mentor/ be a mentor
13. I want to focus on making long lasting female relationships
14. I want to honor God with my words/ actions
15. I want to save 10,000 dollars
16. I want to practice persistance
17. I want to waste less time
18. I want to erase the victim mindset
19. I want to have a schedule - one that I can commit to but break if necessary
20. I want to stay out of debt
21. I want to write a book - this one may take longer than necessary :P
With God, anything is possible. I believe it. I stand on it. I testify to it's truth.
May 17th - here I come! #twentyoneorbust
