Day 12- Long term goals for this year

THat term in and of it self seems kinda oxymoronic. "This year" limits the "long term" status of many plans. But here we go anyways.

I'm going to start with the obvious, I want to graduate from Verity with my BA in History. My parents and i have decided that i should take the next year and work before making any decisions about further schooling or career.
I'm going to Israel, Adonai be willing, in March. One of the goals i have is to learn Hebrew to a fluency, if not before the trip, then before the year is out.

Id like to Finish one of my stories. That is to get it totally written out. The one I have in mind is about a girl named Jade who moves to Israel and finds a Dragon who she names Ember. He is trapped in a human form and she has to help him become what he was meant to be. Sounds corny i know, but the story means more to me than most of my others, and it has really interesting ideas I want to explore.

The Biggest thing is that hardest to explain. I want to remake myself in the image of Yeshua this year. THat is my goal. TO put myself to death and become a new person, the person El Tsaddik (The Righteous God) means for me to be. I have dedicated myself to Yah, to that end. This is more to me than just "being a good verity/church kid", I want to make El Elyon (God Most High) the focal point of my life. This is personal. I want to know Yeshua, who he is, what he was like, how he lived. There really isn't a clear way to define this goal because it doesnt have a final result. I know even if i were to totally change who I see myself as to be more what I feel i am supposed to be, I would still be so far away from knowing El Roi (God who knows me) and Yeshua the way i want to. There is no end to this goal. But there is a beginning, and already Yah H'Adonai (God the King) has been faithful through the people here at school who have pushed me to change how I saw myself. The work and change has begun, and He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it.
