Some goals for August

 

A new month means new goals (and with me, always some ongoing ones as well) -- so here goes!

* Get back to working through the "Make Room Challenge" from Make Room for What You Love
* Spend time with our friends who are younger believers
* Attend the wedding of two dear friends

  3. What a wonderful list of goals. I am always encouraged as well as inspired when I read your goals. I pray you are able to see most, if not all, of your goals achieved. Wouldn't that be a month of blessings! Here's to a beautiful August!!

  4. It was indeed a beautiful August, filled with joyous blessings. I hope to write a post about some of my "summer snapshots". I am so thankful that we can leave our national circumstances in God's hands (not closing our eyes to them, of course, but trusting Him) and just be grateful for the blessings He gives us every day.
