Dreams of 2012

As we set ourselves up to fail with our new years resolutions I am going to add mine.. But not so much as things I want to achieve so much as dreams that I have for the year...

I have a dream and desire for our household to be financially secure "in case something happens". So I would love for us to save 3 months of expenses.

I would like to save enough money for my return flight to NZ to take care of 'funeral' stuff. Unveilings to be more exact. But even just to have that $$ sitting as savings in case of emergency.

Michael would like to buy a family set of motorbikes or thereabouts. I'd like a boat and jet ski. Not asking for much.

I would like to celebrate the feasts that are written in Dueteronomy & Esther.

I would like to rest more often with my fast growing babies. Take my Sabbath days.

We are still educating our kids so there are a set of 'things' to do with that. Mostly I dream to instill morals and character into their beings with day-to-day situations. Also to learn in daily living, through play and experience. Including to teach my 4&6yr old to read (more). I would like to take regular day trips to explore our beautiful home town. I want to be a funn-er mum.

I dream of playing more, recording more & laughing more with my loved ones.

For myself I dream of learning to be grounded and to stand firm REGARDLESS of my circumstance. To hold onto the joy in my heart in a more open way then I have these past few years.

I am doing a bit of casual work for a few months. Nothing major just once or twice a month for a few months. That should help with our savings plans and feels quite good for me too actually.

I would like to bring my 'business' up to a more regular event throughout the year as I challenge myself to higher limits.

I would like to sew more and get some old projects done and dusted.

I would like to get my 2009 photos printed and put into albums.

I would like to get my 2011 photos printed and put into albums.

I would like to get amalia's baby album finished, Isaiah's up to date, jarah's started and one bought for Avigail.

I would like to move into wholesome foods, recycling, vermicomposting, gardening, self sufficiency, self sustainability amongst a heap of other stuff.

I have a lot on my to do list really. Too much in fact. More so on the deep inner workings of our hearts.

The finances don't bother me overt - more just convenience.

But I think most of all... I desire to walk into those moments as I used to encounter them, to enjoy Creation, to have joy in my heart that shows regardless of my situation or circumstances during any time.
To find those moments and savor them.
