October goals


 A new month!  I for one cannot believe how quickly September passed by.  Here are my goals for October:

* Work on Colossians Bible study in my quiet time †
* 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 new study for Sunday School -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus
* Exercise or walk at least 20 times.
* Get to bed by 9:30 pm each night. 
* Limit sugar and red meat.
* Drink enough water each day.
* Drink kombucha each day.
* Keep up with Flylady's missions in homemaking zones of the week.
* Post in this blog most weekdays if possible
* Post regularly in my Christmas blog
* Continue working on several UFO craft projects
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and work on crafting any handmade ones
* Declutter filing cabinets and bookshelves
* 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
* Sort out and declutter my dad's house; work on estate
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
* Attend a couples' retreat with my husband
* Meet up with cousins for a Sunday evening
* Take a three-day getaway up north with my husband
* Continue upholding my husband as he continues on with our church's pastoral search

 † I'll resume my informal study of Come Before Winter, by Charles Swindoll, probably in November or possibly December, depending on how my study of Colossians goes.

  1. I wish you luck with your goals. Sometimes its difficult but you did well in September. The only goal I had this year..to beat the cancer.. I did. All other goals were shelved. Thank you for inspiring me to make new ones...but maybe not as long a list as you. I will watch your progress with interest.
    Have a Blessed Sunday
