5 Things I want to Accomplish by the end of the Year -- 30 Day Challenge (Day 7)

Okay, so I have a list of things I want to accomplish by the end of the year, but here are my top 5 at the current moment:

1. Teach a coupon class for single moms or young moms as a ministry opportunity.
2. Teach Colton animal sounds and the ABC's
3. Go on Chattanooga with the family
4. Line everything up to start school this January at the University of West Alabama
5. Spread my business beyond Tuscaloosa.

Someone that inspires me (30 Day Challenge - Day 6)

My husband inspires me to be a better person each and every day. He loves the Lord with all of his heart and he let's God lead his path instead of making a path of his own. I'm so blessed that Colton has a daddy that is such a Godly man and who will teach Colton about Jesus Christ and about what he did for us many many years ago.

My Dreams (30 Day Challenge - Day 5)

I have so many dreams for my life and for my family. Here are a few of my dreams:

1. Adopt a Child -- Chris and I have talked about this from the beginning of our marriage and it still is a subject that we bring up quite often. We both feel that God has laid on our hearts adoption and we pray that one day we will welcome a new addition into our family through this process. I would love to have one more child of our on and then adopt a child from another country.

2. Go to Israel, Bethlehem and Jerusalem -- I've also wanted to walk along the streets where Jesus walked.

3. Become a Teacher -- I've recently decided to go back to school starting in January to get my masters in teaching, so that I can teach math either in Junior High, High School or College. I know, Crazy! I can't believe that it took me about 10 years before I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I think this will be great for our family because in the end it will give me so much more time at home with Chris and Colton.

4. Build a Dream Home -- I'm one of those that has a disk full of pictures of what I want my future house to look like. Maybe within the next few years, Chris and I can build our own home and include some of these features in our home.

My Business (30 Day Challenge - Day 4)

I started Southern Savings and Deals back in February of this year and I am still amazed at the number of classes that I have taught and the number of followers I have on Facebook now. I teach coupon classes pretty much weekly now to groups at homes, churches or offices. I love what I'm doing and I love helping people save money!! Since February of this year, I have taught over 25 classes and already have about 15 more classes lined up for the rest of the year.

Favorite Bible Verses (30 Day Challenge - Day 3)

These are a few of my favorite Bible Verses:
