Setting Goals

I think we all have a pretty good idea of who (or what) we DON'T want to be. But I know that I personally am guilty on not focusing enough on who I DO want to be. It's easy to feel guilty or get down on myself when I'm not the kind of wife and mother I truly desire to be. Last night, I sat down and wrote myself some goals about the type of woman I want to be. I hope that keeping them in the forefront of my heart will motivate me to achieve them. Every single one.


I WANT TO BE A mother WHO:

• is slow to anger
• is always open armed
• is loving
• is full of praise for her children
• is a gentle but firm discipliner
• is a positive example of a joyful spirit
• is a leader and teacher in the ways of salvation & godliness
• is a safe place for my children
• is not thrown off balance by changing seasons

I WANT TO BE A wife WHO:

• has a gentle & quiet spirit
• is always quick to LISTEN, to LOVE & to FORGIVE
• is slow to anger
• is a listening ear
• is a safe place for my husband to let down his guard
• is 100% given to my marriage
• is always ready to love & to be loved
• takes joy & pride in keeping my home to the best of my ability
• is a bright ray of sunshine in my husband’s world
• NEVER speaks badly about my husband to anyone EVER
• is my husband’s biggest cheerleader in EVERY endeavor he pursues

 What are some of your goals for the type of woman (or man) you desire to become?
