I feel like it’s been awhile since I shared more of a “personal” blog post. Typically, my blog posts are educational, helping you with your mindset, your goals, and - of course - your time + productivity. But, since we’re at the start of the new year, I thought instead that I would do more of a “hybrid” post, not only educating you on how I personally set my goals, but also sharing my goals with you.

It’s hard to be patient - we are a society of immediate gratification and a want for fun, fast and easy. It’s not always going to be that way, but if we TRUST God’s timing, you’ll know why it was worth the wait.
