My family started the year in the hospital. My father was hospitalized on Jan. 1st, was released on Jan. 3rd and died on the 6th. We buried him on Jan. 14th and I came back to work the week after. Now that almost everything is back to normal, except for some episodes of sadness and loneliness, I want to put in writing the things I expect to happen this year. And then at the end of the year, I want to be able to look back and see if they did happen or something else better happened. :)
This year I expect great things to happen. Yes, some things are beyond my control but most of them are controllable. God has given us instructions in writing, I'm sure that if I just read and understand it, I'll get the heavenly wisdom I need to make the right decisions.
First on my list is to have baby #2. My husband and I have agreed that as soon as he graduates from his Master's degree this
March, we'll have another baby. Our eldest son Matt is already 3 years old and by June, he will start pre-school. By the time I give birth, Matt would be 4, enough to take care of his younger brother/sister. :) I'm praying for a baby sister while my husband prays for another baby boy. May the best prayer win!hehe. Just kidding.
Second on my list is to start a small business or any income generating activity. I'm currently a dealer of human nature organic products (http://humanheartnature.com/) but it's not really income generating because I am not selling aggressively. The discount I'm enjoying though, as a dealer, is something that I'm thankful about because I'm an avid user of HN products. But aside from being an HN dealer, I want to put up a small business. Maybe a business I could start from home or if I could find a stall where I could sell stuff preferably food, that would be better. Or I'm thinking of working online during my free time. Some Odesk type of online job. I'm also trying to consider buying raw products then process them at home then sell them online. I don't know, as of now, there's just a lot of ideas coming that I have to pray harder and think deeper to make up my mind and pursue what I really desire to do.
Then I'd like to accomplish some not so major things like wall painting of my son's room in preparation for baby #2, having the car tinted again since the heat and light are now getting in which makes it more hot inside, if the budget allows, we'll have to repaint the car as scratches are now more visible, de-clutter our closet and get rid of the things we don't need and donate them and make more space for more people in the house, visit my mother and siblings often, have more couple dates at new restaurants (started with 2 new restaurants and my husband and I enjoyed it), lose 15 lbs by eating healthy and exercising more often, read more books and PRAY more!
Wow, I'm really positive about my plans for 2012 but I know that God has plans laid out for me too. Prayer is the key really.
