My 2024 Faith Goals/Bucket List

I can't believe it's a new year already!!

For quite some time now, I have been thinking about what I want to do, in terms of deepening my faith. Hopefully I can stay consistent with what I came up with, in terms of including them in a regular routine.

Here is my 2024 faith goals/bucket list:

  • Be an STM at a Joni and Friends retreat
  • Go on a prayer walk every day
  • Read the Bible every day
  • Grow in my faith
  • Pray every day
  • Memorize one Bible verse a week
  • Create faith-related art
  • Find my purpose
  • Draw closer to God
  • Do 2 random acts of kindness a month
  • Read one Christian book a month
  • Make a prayer board
  • Fast from social media one week every month
  • Get back into going to church each week
  • Attend a Christian concert
  • Attend a Christian/faith-based event
  • Learn how to listen for/hear the voice of God
  • Create a prayer wall
  • Give all my fears, doubts, and worries to God
  • Lean to trust in God
  • Seek God's guidance
  • Become comfortable with praying out loud
  • Start a truth mirror
  • Move body 30 minutes a day
  • Commit to a Bible reading plan
  • Create battle cards (an index card with a scripture and prayer to focus on)
  • Limit social media use
  • Read a devotional
  • Get involved in my church  
I have been wanting to have a deeper relationship with God, and a deeper faith, for a long time but never really knew how to go about it.

One of my friends from family retreat (you can find more about family retreat HERE) helped me to get started with my journey last summer, and now I just need to do my part.

I am so thankful she took the initiative to have a conversation with me, about my faith, as she somehow knew that I wanted (and needed) that push to strengthen my faith.

I can't wait to see how 2024 goes, and to see where God takes me!

Without

It has been a while since I have participated in Five Minute Friday, but I was inspired to write when I saw this week's prompt. I love to write, but sometimes it's hard to find inspiration.  When I saw this prompt, though, I knew exactly what I wanted to say, and am happy to be participating in this week's link up. This week's FMF prompt is: Without It has been almost 14 1/2 years since my mom passed away And every day without her is bittersweet 14 1/2 years without her voice Without her home cooked meals Without her love Without her comfort Without her We may not have seen eye to eye on some things But I loved her very much I always will She was there for me Whenever I was struggling She was there for me During some of the best days The good things that I have accomplished since she died Were bittersweet without her here to share in the memories I look forward to the day when I get to see her again But until then I will live my life to the best of my ability Knowing t...

Reading the Bible in One Year: June Reading

How is another month starting already?! I can't believe how fast the days have gone by. I have done pretty good in May. There were a couple of days where I forgot to reading the day's passage, but I just reading the following day, along with the next day's reading. To be honest, I am so surprised that I have been able to keep up with this challenge, and not given up. I usually give up on things after a while, but I am still going with this bible reading challenge, and I am very happy with myself! Here is June's reading list: Psalms 119:89-176 Song of Solomon 1-8 Proverbs 1-3 Proverbs 4-6 Proverbs 7-9 Proverbs 10-12 Proverbs 13-15 Proverbs 16-18 Proverbs 19-21 Proverbs 22-24 1 Kings 5-6, 2 Chronicles 2-3 1 Kings 7, 2 Chronicles 4 1 Kings 8, 2 Chronicles 5 2 Chronicles 6-7, Psalm 136 Psalm 134, Psalms 146-150 1 Kings 9, 2 Chronicles 8 Proverbs 25-26 Proverbs 27-29 Ecclesiastes 1-6 Ecclesiastes 7-12 1 Kings 10-11, 2 Chronicles 9 Proverbs 30-31 1 Kings 12-14 2 Chronicles 10...

Reading the Bible in One Year: November Reading

October went well, in terms of keeping up with the readings. I didn't miss a day, and I am finally in the New Testament. I have been looking forward to reading the New Testament for quite some time. I can't believe I am nearing the end of this Bible reading plan already. I have enjoyed it and look forward to seeing how I do in 2024. This year, I wanted to focus only on reading the Bible, but next year, I hope to go more in depth and study the word, as well as to memorize some verses. Here is this month's reading list: Matthew 20-21 Luke 18:15-19:48 Mark 11, John 12 Matthew 22, Mark 12 Matthew 23, Luke 20-21 Mark 13 Matthew 24 Matthew 25 Matthew 26, Mark 14 Luke 22, John 13 John 14-17 Matthew 27, Mark 15 Luke 23, John 18-19 Matthew 28, Mark 16 Luke 24, John 20-21 Acts 1-3 Acts 4-6 Acts 7-8 Acts 9-10 Acts 11-12 Acts 13-14 James 1-5 Acts 15-16 Galatians 1-3 Galatians 4-6 Acts 17-18:18 1 Thessalonians 1-5, 2 Thessalonians 1-3 Acts 18:19-19:41 1 Corinthians 1-4 1 Corinthians 5-8
