July goals


Graphic from Little Birdie Blessings
Wow, July already!  How can that be?  I am taking just a few minutes to share my tentative goals for this month:
*Meditate on a passage from God's Word each day.
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones.
* Add 4 pages to my "What Do I Know About My God?" Scripture notebook
* Continue study for Sunday School -- Following God With All Your Heart
* Continue to re-read Say Goodbye to Survival Mode; continue to journal and implement what I learn
* Exercise or walk at least 20 times.
* Get to bed by 10 pm each night.  (I am upping this time because we have family visiting.)
* Limit sugar.
* Drink enough water each day.
* Keep up with Kelly's missions in homemaking zones of the week.
* Spend some serious time decluttering closets
* Post in both of my blogs as often as possible
* Continue working on several UFO craft projects
* Apply wall decals to our freshly painted bathroom wall
* Continue planning activities for visit from our Nevada family
* Enjoy 4th of July activities with friends
* Enjoy our visit with our Nevada family, which continues until July 11
* Reduce grocery bill by $5 per week consistently
* Spend several hours updating my A-store.
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able
* Clean church and set up for potluck meal
*  Continue trying to help and encourage my elderly dad
* Sort out and declutter my dad's basement

  1. I love the idea of monthly goals like this. Can you tell me more about the What Do I Know About My God, journal? Have a great month!

  2. Welcome, Theresa! I am rushing to get out the door right now but basically, this is a notebook full of Scripture in which we write down and categorize verses that detail what we know about God. For example, God is all-powerful. Then we write out verses that tell us this. When we face an impossible circumstance, we can review what we know about God's power. And so on. This concept is explained in the book What Do I Know About My God? by Mardi Collier. I will try and share more details later today. Thanks for visiting and please do browse the archives. I'm sure you will find much encouragement there!
