November didn’t go at all as I had planned it. I didn’t plan on my dad spending 9 days in the hospital. I didn’t plan on my dad passing away on November 17th and I didn’t plan on having his memorial service on the 20th. I didn’t plan to spend Thanksgiving without my dad or to skip our annual tradition of Black Friday shopping and our daddy-daughter breakfast date. I didn’t plan any of it. I do know that God had it planned, and as hard as it is to accept sometimes, I rest in the fact that daddy’s name was written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and he is now breathing freely again in heaven.
I almost didn’t write this post because I missed most of my goals for November but, I made a commitment to myself to document my goals, successes and failures for a year so, here it is.

I’m praying December goes a little more as I have it planned than November did. If you blog your goals, please add your post to our linky!
Well, I say when you lose someone you see what is really the most important, and you just do what needs to be done. The walking and drinking water is important, but can wait! I did see you post about losing your dad and was praying for you. I pray you still have a good Christmas reflecting on Christ. I’m glad you will see your dad again one day in Heaven.
