My Goals // November 2018
Hey y’all! It’s been a
while since I’ve done one of these posts, hasn’t it? October was such an exciting month full of
dreams-come-true, which really got me hyped for having another productive month! It’s amazing to see how God works in our
lives when we surrender every moment and situation to Him.

Here are my goals for the month of November.
Send a
package for the Annie Write’s Thankfulness Surprise Box November Challenge.
Anna is hosting a challenge over on her blog that I think
will be so much fun! There is still time
to get involved and send someone a package – I’m sure Anna would love your
participation! This month, let’s spread
a spirit of gratitude.
Take a
picture of the surprise box to send Anna.
Also part of the above-mentioned challenge. :)
Start daily
journaling.
I already began doing this, and so far it has been such a
blessing! I forgot just how much I love
simply writing out my thoughts or what I did each day.
Write a
hymn arrangement for Thanksgiving.
I recently wrote a hymn arrangement for piano and kalimba,
which you can listen to here.
This month I’d like to do a hymn arrangement (for whatever combination
of instruments) to a Thanksgiving hymn.
What is YOUR favorite hymn to listen to for Thanksgiving?
Start
wrapping up shopping AND Christmas gifts.
I’ve already found gifts for both of my grandmothers, my mom,
and one of “my people.” (We each draw 2 names for sibling gifts). I just have my dad and another sibling to buy
for, a couple friends, and stocking stuffers for each family member. Stocking-stuffer shopping is always fun! I love searching for special little items to
put in each persons’ stocking.
Reorganize/decorate
bedroom.
I may experiment with moving furniture and things around my room
for a more efficient layout. I’d also
like to decorate a little for Christmas!
On top of my list is to string Christmas lights around my room for a
soft glow at night. I’d also like a
place to display more photos, and a designated place for plaques and trophies
and such. Old books and such will be
vacated to create room for more important things. :)
Write
thank-you notes to 3 people at church.
This month our church is having a thanksgiving/appreciation
card box for people to write notes to whomever they want to in our church. I’d like to write 3 different people.
Make a set
of 20 Christmas cards.
My grandma requested I make her 20 handmade Christmas cards,
which I started on this week and can’t wait to complete!
That’s all for now.
Until next time, check out these posts on thankfulness!
I’d love to
know!
What did
God do in your life in October?
What are
your goals for November?
Loved this post! October was a pretty good month. HSF was awesome! Even though I was super stressed out before it, God really helped me that week! I'm kind of really nervous about the quiz the Saturday, especially after the last quiz ;), but I'm trying to trust God for that too! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your October was good, too. ;) Haha, same! I'm really stressed about quiz too. You'll do awesome though. ;) Philippians 4:13!
DeleteThose pumpkin musical decorations look really cool! I hope you get all of your goals completed. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! I think I gasped when I saw the pumpkins and my mom and I both were like "Grace needs a picture." :) Just the best thing ever. Thank you!
DeleteHello, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post! Something God did in my life during October is building my friend circle. Sometimes, I have a hard time talking to people, but He's been helping me talk with other students at Youth Bible Study, which is a blessing. :) --I don't have any goals, yet, but some might come along the way. :D
~ Hope
Aww, I'm glad to hear that, Hope! Friendship has been something on my mind a lot lately, that I may write about eventually on the blog. I'm glad you have been able to reach out at your Bible study! I know that must be a blessing to the other young people there, too. Blessings on your November!
DeleteGreat goals, Grace! I can’t believe it’s “almost” Christmas!!!!! :O 2018 has flown by SO fast!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Time has flown! So many great things have happened, and it makes me excited for the future too. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment!
DeleteThank you so much for tagging me in the previous post & for mentioning my box challenge! <3 These are some great goals! How has making 20 Christmas cards been??
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Anna! I'm actually all finished with the cards! :)
