My Intentions for 2008
Goals for 2008 (the last year of my twenties):1. I am making my intention to make Hajj. Insh'Allah, I will be invited by Allah (swt) to perform the Hajj this upcoming year. I am making preparations now to do so, but we all know that I plan and Allah (swt) plans, so if it is His will that I make Hajj this year, then I will be ever so willing to do so.
2. Insh'Allah, I will continue my studies at Trinity University in an effort to complete my degree by the Fall of 2009. I pray that I will continue to work hard towards A's and not A-'s (that is if they can be avoided by any means beyond my own...sorry, I'm still a little bitter about that).
3. I pray that I become a better person all around...more patient, more giving, more considerate, more active, more loving, more aware, more willing, more faithful, more self-less, more joyous, more understanding, more open (when necessary)...just more of everything that is beneficial for me and those around me...
4. I pray that I FINALLY get back into the classroom. This entire process has been soooooo slow. I keep seeing the light, but I feel like this is an extremely long tunnel.
5. I guess I should put something in here about finding a mate, but the way I see it, that's up to Allah (swt) since He is the one who puts love between the hearts of men. So if it is my time, then I shall welcome whoever he may be with open arms. In the meantime, I'll focus on the other things on this list.
6. After reading number 5, I pray that I become more positive about the whole finding my mate process :).
7. I intend to read more. I used to read a LOT. I've gotten away from that and need to start again.
8. As I get closer to 30, my tolerance for crap gets shorter and shorter....nothing much I can do about that, so I just pray that the crap I encounter in 2008 is cut to 1/4 of what it was in 2007.
9. I pray that I meet new and exciting people who can only be beneficial to me and vice versa...
10. I pray that I have fewer moments where I believe that this "good-girl thing" is seriously overrated...
Well, these are all I can think of at the moment. If I think of some more, I'll just come back and add them. I pray that all the readers have a wonderful new year and meet the goals they have set for themselves. I'm off to enjoy this last day of 2007...
Happy 19th Birthday, Marlotte!!

Great List! I agree with #6. Just how you have to work hard for everything else on your list, you have to work hard at that too. In the end, all things are truly up to Allah, but we have to do our part as well;) InshaAllah we will all have a blessed, productive year!
