My Thursday Thirteen this week is 13 goals for 2008.  Some are on the homestead while some are personal and such. 

1.  Build a house -no bank, just God and us.   How is that for sweat equity! 

2.  Fence the pasture and cross section it.

3.  Build the new duck enclosure

4.  Read an entire book or two!  I have several I am interested in and would love to find the time to do so.  Ya know, a little personal time.

5.  Be more focused, intentional and careful of our finiancial goals, spending and projects.

6.  Plant more blackberries, blueberries and get some grape vines.

7.  Have a yard sale to get rid of a lot of stuff we just don’t need.

8.  Have a big enough garden to can and freeze enough for winter.

9.  Go through and organize (yet again) all of our arts/ crafts supplies, books, homeschooling materials and supplies.  I will probably use a week of summer break to do this.

10.  Demo the upper deck that overlooks the creek side and create a retaining wall and sitting area there. 

11.  Build two animal shelters in the pastures.

12.  Focus on a renewed energy for my workouts and physical health.  I need to change up some of the strength training exercises and see what areas I need to work harder on.

13.  Take more daily time for my devotions, prayers and personal time with God.  I like to go outside, look up at the sky and have an intense conversation with God.  Out loud, of course!  It is such an engergizing connection and I want to do that much more often. 

Well, that is my TT for this week and my first of 2008.  What is yours? 

Leave me a comment and a link to yours so I can come visit!

Have a great and blessed 2008.

All for His glory,
