New Year Goal

I am not a big new year resolutions gal. I actually think it's silly to wait 'til January to change things in your life. Why not start on Monday? Why can't you begin changing things the day after Thanksgiving or in the middle of summer? Anyway, enough of my soap box!
Many of you know that for the last year I've been the Y.W. president of my ward. This has been a sacrifice for our family but a huge blessing in our lives. I love the girls and their sweet spirits. I am learning so much and am amazed at the growth of these young women. The church has come out with a new Personal Progress manual and some other really neat things to motivate the girls to get their Young Womanhood Recognition Award. As a Y.W. president this is definitely a goal I want for my girls. And...I want it for myself. I have decided to take part in this program. I am excited to be working toward a goal and increasing my spirituality. I started yesterday with lots of reading about faith. I'm also suppose to say morning and night prayers every day for three weeks. I'm quite certain that this is going to bless my life and make me a better mother, wife, friend and Y.W. president. If anyone wants to join me, please do! The church encourages all women to work towards this award. Happy Goal Setting!
