Good morning everyone!
Once again, Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s already 2015…
This weekend was so much fun. On Friday, my Mom, aunts, and cousin came up to San Luis Obispo to celebrate my Moms Birthday.
We shopped, drank wine at my house, had crazy amounts of girl talk, ate Mexican Food, walked, shopped some more, and loved on my Momma. It was a blast.
Sunday consisted of getting re-organzied and ready for my Ohio trip. You guys. I’m leaving Wednesday! I can hardly wait!
Before I get into that…
I wanted to share with you some things that I learned at Church on Sunday about New Years Resolutions. We went to a new Church called Grace (still trying to find our group here) and really loved it. We met a few different people and easily got connected with a small group. That meant a lot to us since it can be challenging to get connected.
We learned the WHY, HOW, and WHERE of setting NYR’s. I thought it was so in line with the Copy My New Years Intentions post. Love God or not, I think you will appreciate this guidance 
I’m taking this list straight from my notes at Grace Church.
WHY set goals & make plans for a new year?
- God created us for flourishing (Gen 1:28)
- God gives us a fresh start in the Gospel (2 Cor 5:17)
- God commands our growth (2 Pt 3:18)
- God commends intentional planning (Prov 21:5)
- God holds us accountable as stewards of all He gives (Mt 25:14-29)
- God is at work in us to make real life change possible (Phil 2:12-13)
HOW do we set goals and make plans for a new year?
- Set aside time
- Start with why
- Be realistic
- Make a record
- Find a friend [or Health Coach]
- Remember S.M.A.R.T.)
- Commit our plans to the Lord (Prov 3:5-6)
WHERE can we set goals & make plans for a new year?
Spiritual: Bible reading, prayer, spiritual disciplines, service, small group involvement
Relational: marriage, parenting, family, friends
Intellectual: books, audio, learning opportunities
Physical: exercise, diet, health, check-ups [and drinking this Warming Winter Detox Smoothie]

Isn’t that cool? I loved it!
