Summer is now over - and we are back to our Goals for Relief Society! Please read through these goals, and commit to doing at least one of them - your life will be blessed by doing so!
Spiritual Goal: Often times we find ourselves saying the same things without even thinking each time we kneel down and pray. This month do things a little differently by doing these steps:
1. Find a quiet place (closet, bathroom, or lock the door to your bedroom to keep little eyes from distrubing you, etc.)
2. Ponder for a moment the things you are grateful for and the things you truly need.
3. Before starting your prayer try to visualize your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ since this is who you are talking to.
4. After your prayer take a moment to meditate and write down any thoughts you might have.
Personal Goal: Just like in our personal prayer time we need to take a few moments each day to meditate. Find 5 minutes each day this month to simply ponder in a quiet place and again write down any thoughts you might have.
Family Goal: This month sit down with your family and decide on a time when you can study the scriptures together. Try to read the scriptures each day as a family even if its only a verse.
Food Storage Goal: Evaluate your families water needs this month and try to get a basic water supply started. For guidance on this go to lds.org, mouse over Home and Family, click on Family Home Storage, then click on Drinking water.
Challenge: Women need women,and each one of us desries to have people around us that we love and who loves us. In the August Friend - President Eyering wrote an article entitled "Knitting Our Hearts Together". Take time this month to to read this article. Take some extra time to pray for those sisters in our ward that you know or even don't know. Then as we were challenged in our Relief Society Lesson given by Sister Lewis & Sister Evans, pray to find people that you can serve. Write down their names and then contemplate what you might be able to do to serve them and then go and do it. As we get to know one another and serve one another our hearts will become knit together and we will find a greater sense of love and peace in our lives.

July Goals
Hello Sisters! I hope that you are enjoying us challenging you, and encouraging you to get your food storage in order as well as your spiritual, personal, and family growth! It is already a new month - and for the month of July these are the goals we would like you to incorporate into your life:
Spiritual Goal: Read the Book of Mormon for at least 5 minutes a day.
Personal Goal: Develop a NEW interest in any creative field or in a hobby that interests you. Spend some time this month learning more about it.
Family Goal: Decide as a family a time when you can gather together for family prayer and then do it each day this month. Continue to have Family Home Evening each week.
Food Storage Goal: Buy one extra item that you use regularly each time you go shopping. (i.e. If you needed on can of chicken noodle soup - buy two)
Challenge: Sister Beck encouraged us in the April General Conference to set personal priorities. At the BYU Women's Conference she further explained that what she would like to see each of us do is sit down and write our own lists. She listed three categories for our priorities: they are ESSENTIALS, NEED TO DO, and NICE TO DO. The Essential items are things such as a personal scripture study, couple prayer, family home evening, (things of Eternal importance.) Need to do are more of the day to day things that we do such as cleaning our homes, service, exercise, etc. Nice to do are your hobbies and things that help you to relax and that you enjoy doing. She recommended that when we sit down to write these lists that we start with a prayer for guidance and then regularly go over our lists to see if changes are needed. Remember that every ones lists will be different so make yours personal. This month set aside some time to write your own lists. Sister Beck promised that as we put first things first, our homes will become more peaceful and we will find a great sense of joy in our lives.

June Goals
We as a Relief Society Presidency love each one of the sisters in our ward and are concerned for the well-being of each of you. We know how busy life gets and we want to remind you to take care of yourself as well as your families. We would like each of you to find some area in your life that you can improve upon, and as you do, you will find life to be more rewarding, easier to handle and you will feel your Heavenly Father's love for you because you will be doing as He commands. We have come up with a list of some goals we would like for you to think about and incorporate into your life. If you aren't able to tackle all of them, just start with one. You will find satisfaction in knowing that you are doing something worthwhile!
The June Goals:
Spiritual Goal: Have a daily morning prayer inviting the Spirit to be with you throughout the day.
Personal Goal: Each one of us needs to refill our well so that we might help others. Find 15 minutes each day to refill your cup. Have a quiet time for you or do something you enjoy or do something that rejuvenates you.
Family Goal: Regardless of your situation, we are all part of Heavenly Father's family. Have a Family Home Evening each week this month. Ideas for lessons: Do a family activity or an act of service; Read a story from the Old Testament; Talk abou the importance of prayer; Share a talk fromt he May Ensign or from the Friend.
Food Storage Goal: Catalog what food storage you already have. Figure out what you would need for a 3 month supply.
Challenge: As women we have many responsibilites. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, pushed and pulled in many directions. Sometimes the world tries to tell us what to be. As daughters of our Heavenly Father we need to have an eternal perspective. Using the power of personal revelation prioritize your tasks correctly and navigate this life confidently.
