I thought I didn't really have any hopes for this year, but then I got to thinking and realized that I do. lol
So, here they are in no particular order. My hopes, dreams, and goals for 2019.
1. That God will heal my friend Joni of cancer. Things are not looking good right now.
2. That my kids will figure out what they want to do with their lives, pursue it, and succeed.
3. That we will do what needs to be done to our house to get it ready to sell. There are repairs, touch-up painting, de-cluttering, and rearranging that needs to be done.
4. If we put our house back on the market this year, that it will sell for what the asking price will be (or more) and that we can move to a bigger place in the country with some land and no close neighbors. I want a room for my library and I need a bigger kitchen with more counter space.
5. Pray more and read my Bible more.
6. Try to read more books.
7. I'd love for our church to grow spiritually and physically.
8. Be healed of PCOS and all symptoms gone. I want my hair back (normal thickness and several more inches in length), excess weight gone, better skin, risk of cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart attack gone, etc.
9. That my kids will get closer to God.
10. That Charlie will get a raise and be able to get the truck he needs.
11. Finally tackle my closet and be able to bring myself to get rid of some things. There are clothes I haven't worn in quite awhile, but I'm having a hard time getting rid of them. lol
12. If I could finally break through some of the brick walls in my family tree, that would be awesome!
I could possibly add more to this if I thought long enough, but I'm going to stop here.

Hopes for 2015
Just as with the memes I've done recently and my books and movies entry, this too is an annual blog entry for me. My hopes and dreams for the year.
1. That Charlie will get back in church with me and our kids.
2. That my brother will come to church more regularly (rather than just a few times a year) and that his wife and their boys will also start coming.
3. Healing for my body - PCOS gone.
4. To read more books this year than I did last year.
5. To pray more and read my Bible more.
6. That everyone in my family who quit church/serving God so many years ago will finally come back to God and that those who haven't given their lives to God yet will do so this year.
7. That this will be a healthy, godly, and prosperous year for me and my family.
8. That our regular church attendance will finally reach 400 and not just on Easter or other special occasions. We're not too far from it now. We average between 340 and 360 on Sundays. This time last year we were averaging about 260-300.
9. That everyone who quit going to our church over the years (and still live in Greensboro) will come back. We love them and miss having them in church with us.
10. To be a better wife and mother. Not that I'm a bad one now. lol I'm actually a pretty good one. Or so they tell me. Haha. But there's always room for improvement, right?
11. To be a little less of a "nocturnal queen". lol I was doing pretty good there for awhile. (Well, pretty good for me anyway.) But now I'm back to my old late-night ways. There's just something about the stillness of the middle of the night. The peace and quiet that introverts like me crave. I can focus on the things I really enjoy doing - reading, blogging, working on the family tree, or whatever else I desire - without having to worry about a loud TV or noisy people (outside and inside) or phone calls/texts or someone coming to the door, etc. The dogs still bark sometimes, but I reckon you can't always have things exactly how you want them. lol
