February Goals

A new month!  January went by so quickly, even though it is 31 long days of cold, snow and ice.  I certainly didn't accomplish all that I hoped to in January, but now I have a fresh start with this new month.  Here are my
FEBRUARY GOALS

FEBRUARY'S HEALTHY HABIT:  Exercise

WORD FOR 2014: BALANCE


And here is how January went:
* Read through the January portion of the One-Year Devotional Bible -- DONE!
*  Read 4 chapters in The Power of a Godly Grandparent -- DONE!
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones -- DONE!

* Begin "Intentionally Focused" Bible study -- DONE!
* Keep up with my Sunday School study -- The Heart of a Woman Who Prays -- DONE!
* Exercise at least 20 times -- I only managed 10 times.  But that was a HUGE improvement over what I had been doing.
* Get to bed by 9:45 pm each night -- not done; I did try, but life was very busy this month
* Limit sugar -- DONE! I managed to eat sugar pretty much only on Sundays
* Drink enough water each day -- not done
* Keep up with Kelly's missions in homemaking zones of the week -- not done, although I did make a good try at it and accomplished quite a bit

JANUARY'S HEALTHY HABIT:  Get to bed earlier -- didn't do so well with this, but I'll work on it again later in the year.


Needless to say, although February is a short month, I'm hoping it'll be a more productive one.
