32 goals for my 32nd birthday
Yesterday was my 32nd birthday, and I am feeling pumped about this next year. As we anticipate our move to Hawaii, and I'm leaving behind the fog of post-partum anxiety, I'm ready to "have life to the full" (John 10:10). I'm ready to pursue the passions and creative identity that God placed in me 32 years ago. That may not mean that I'll ever go into art full-time, but simply that I follow His calling for me moment by moment.
I am leaving behind a season of surviving, and entering into a season of thriving.
This is gonna be a good year.
I made a list of 32 goals for this next year, and I thought I'd share them here. Some are small, some are big, some are merely dreams. Some I've left a little more vague, while I gave myself parameters on others.

ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday - was going to tell you on IG and the day got away. Hope you had a great time with your mom in town. I love these goals - I turn 30 on Saturday and just reread my 30 before 30 list and I didn't complete half but it is still fun to look back on what I wanted to accomplish and how some goals have changed and stayed the same! xo
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday!! Those are great goals!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this, Lindsay!!!
ReplyDeleteI’m a huge fan of goals—so much so that New Years has become one of my favorite holidays. Fresh starts are THE. BEST.
Can’t wait to continue to follow along via IG :)
