Sounds like the makings of productive and profitable month ahead. Here's to working through that list...and keeping on track. Do you regularly intermittent fast? Are you enjoying the study of Habakkuk? Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!!
ReplyDeleteYes, we intermittent fast pretty much on a daily basis. Once in awhile we will go out with friends for breakfast, but most days we fast 16-18 hours. It works very well for us.
DeleteYes, the Habakkuk study is a good one. I highly recommend it!
