My Goals for 2011

I have been thinking about my goals for 2011. At the beginning of the year my pastor challenged us, as a congregations as well as individuals, to make spiritual goals for this new year. It has really given me something to think about. I am sure that as this year goes on and I hear of other’s goals some of my own will change, however, this is what I have right now.

My goals

1. I need to become more aggressive in every aspect of my walk with God; praying, seeking, reading, learning, witnessing.

2. Regarding my family

      a. I want to see my family saved this year.

      b. I need to be able to forgive

3. I want to move forward in letting God be my councilor. There are many things, emotionally that I have yet to overcome. I want to be open to whatever I need to do or allow God to do in order to heal spiritually.

4. I have been praying for a healing for a while and believe that God has promised me a complete healing of all the problems that I face physically. However, I need to do my part. I need to be physically fit.

5. I want to be a support to those who need it.

      a. I want to be there for my friends as they face hard times.

      b. I want to push my family to reach their goals and go beyond what they think is possible for them.

      c. I want to be able to join in agreement with my church family in praying for their needs and goals.

      d. I want to be able to talk to the people that call work and let them know that they have hope in God for their needs especially when they can’t get any help from doctors.

6. I want to believe God for a husband, of His choosing, to come into my life this year.

7. I want to see something new and fresh happen with the yarn ministry. I would like to see God open doors for our Yarn of Compassion to reach more people in other areas of the US and abroad.

I believe that God has dealt with me about each of these areas and I have to remember that God would not deal with me to do something without having a reason for it. I don’t always have to understand everything, just do it.

Second, Third and Fourth Challenge! and then some.

OK well I am going to try to put up more of my paper bag book that I have been working on. I decided to try my hand at a few more challenges. This one is for Scrapbooking Stampede's sketch.



I loved this paper.

The next challenge I decided to try was for Mojo Monday sketch. I like the way it turned out, however once it was done I see things that I could have done better. I guess everyone is like that thou.



The last one I did was for a sketch from Unscripted Sketches.



OK so that's all that I did for challenges. I did get some inspiration for the rest of my pages from looking at every one's work. Thanks for posting such pretty and interesting pages.

This idea came out of a magazine, pulse the bedding that's being used in her baby's room is all done in mushrooms and snails. I Love mushrooms, almost as much as Momiji loves owls. ;)



another page using mushrooms. I am not showing them in order, I hope no one cares.



The insert that I did to match it.



The next three pages I did are probably my favorite. I got this idea out of a magazine as well.







I have a few more pages that I can post but at the moment I need to go for now. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to improve I am all ears. Thanks.

My First Challenge!!

I haven't done any scrapbooking in a really long time. I decided to make a paper bag book for a woman that I work with who just had a baby girl. While I was working on this book my friend, Momiji, told me about these challenges she was doing on her blog. After some time I decided to check it out and it helped me to get back into the spirit of scrapbooking.

I have finally finished a page that I am going to enter into Get Sketchy's SG4#. I like this one because it was so different from what I am use to doing.



I am going to post the rest hopefully tomorrow. It's a bit late and I think Hollie would like me to leave now. :)
