July goals

Yes, unbelievably, it's a new month, and time for setting some fresh goals.  Here are my goals for July:
* Do a July Scripture writing challenge
* Continue reading through the New Testament
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones

* Continue our discipleship study with new believers

* Continue to  help a recently widowed friend with the challenges of life in general
* Continue study for Sunday School -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus
* Get to bed by 9 pm each night  
* Limit sugar
* Drink enough water each day

 * Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week

* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week (with some help from Clean Mama)
* Do something creative each day
* Post in this blog as often as possible
* Post in my Christmas blog every day for Christmas in July!

* Get together with friends on July 4th
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones

* Spend a little time on some UFO craft projects
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items

* Work on Etsy and trust bookkeeping as necessary
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able

* Continue to encourage and support my hubby as he works through a pastoral search for our church
* Clean church and set up for fellowship time

* Continue to sort out and declutter my dad's house, hopefully taking many loads to the dump and thrift store and consolidating the remaining items yet to dispose of;  work on estate
* Spend a day helping my cousin get started with a similar task at her childhood home

* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating

So many of these projects are ongoing that I hesitate to declare them done.  They aren't finished and won't be for awhile.  Still, I met my goals in that I spent some time this past month in working on them.
