Small Goals!

Throughout all areas of life, small goals reach the highest outcome and long-term lifestyle changes. In college, I have set goals for myself, which have taught me that doing little things can give you a taste for a transformation that inspires you to be the best version of yourself. 


Some of you may remember that my word for the year (2022) is kindness, and setting short-term goals allows me to be kind toward myself. When I set up my word for the year, I thought it would be an outward form of kindness that reflected how I treat others, and I realize now that God set that on my heart for me too. I am hard on myself for everything, and by setting small goals, I find that I am kinder with how I treat myself. It shows me how God is gracious in my progress. I have also found ambition for the little things, and being kind toward myself has given me more motivation and love for others.


As Christians, I believe this thought process could be significant too. Setting objectives to read your Bible for two minutes can naturally grow into thirty minutes, etc. Without realizing it from the start, small goals will propel you to want more and do more. My education, faith, and life have benefited most from my short-term goal attitude, and I highly urge you to make a change in your life. You will be amazed at how you can grow when you take one step at a time and lean on God through it all!

My Testimony

Hello everyone, my name is Hannah, and this is my story. I’m a college student, artist, sister, and daughter, but most importantly, I’m a born-again Christian. What is a Christian? A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus came into this earth perfect, flawless, and lived a sinless life. Jesus not only lived a perfect life, but He sacrificed Himself for us and rose from the grave three days later. Jesus is the Son of God who created you and me and has sacrificed His Son for His children in hopes that we would believe in Him. This is what was instilled in my family ever since I could remember. I live with my loving parents and my older brother who are also Christians, and at the age of four years old, I also surrendered my life to Jesus. I wanted to know, experience, and live out that same forgiveness and love that Jesus offered the rest of my family. Life, however, has its ups and downs. Christians are viewed as perfect people who have no fear or ...

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

  Unpopular opinion: Pinterest is one of the superior social media platforms.   I have far too many pins to count and have grown a flourishing collection of aesthetic images and cute outfits. On Pinterest is where I find both faith-based and generic quotes. I like to save these pins to a specific board so that one day I can go back and make it my phone lock-screen or write them in my calligraphy style. Often enough, quotes will stand out to me. In this case, I have heard this quote from multiple different platforms, and every single time I see it, I ask myself the question:  When was the last time you did something for the first time? I have had a lot going on in my life the last month; things I would never like to experience again and situations that made me strong. During that time, I realized my anxiety about focusing on the future. I have struggled with this since my senior year of high school, and I think this battle never really went away. Over the last six m...

2022 Word of the Year

2022 = Kindness “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 ESV Since my senior year of high school, I have chosen a word for the year. That word would be my set goal or my  New Year's Resolution . Ultimately it would reflect how I want to grow as an individual and a Christian for that upcoming year.  Kindness came to mind over the last month in how I treat others and myself. I have been told that I am very kind, yet I notice that I am rarely kind toward myself. I strive to put others first, and as a result, I have become a people-pleaser over the years. With that said, God placed the word  kindness  on my heart. It is to act as a reminder to put others before me, and it is to also work on how I treat myself. Going into a new year, 2022, I have new responsibilities, challenges, adventures, and business goals ahead of me. I want to use this year to put God first in all I do. And to be kind toward everyon...
