March goals (better late than never, right?)


Okay, so just this morning in my quiet time, somehow the thought came to me that I had never posted about my goals for March.  How crazy is that?  I guess my life has just been a little busy.  So, in the spirit of better late than never, here goes with some March goals:

* Do a March Scripture writing challenge
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones
* Read the March chapters in the Daily Walk Bible
* Continue our discipleship study with new believers
* Help a recently widowed friend with her husband's memorial service and 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 each day
* 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 as often as possible
* 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
* Keep up with Etsy and trust bookkeeping
* 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
* Help set up for and serve at our friend's memorial service
* 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
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
* Possibly plan a spring getaway

  1. I’m tuckered just reading your list.

    After all these years of following FlyLady, sometimes I have troubles with the most basic things like getting dressed to shoes. 🙃

    May The Lord bless you in all your goals this month.

    1. Thank you, Vee! I am sorry that I tuckered you out.

      Getting dressed to shoes is an easy one for me. I just have to start the day like that in order to feel that it isn't slipping out of my grasp.

      I get through the morning routine pretty well. Think I need to work a lot harder on developing an afternoon routine, though!

      Walking takes at least an hour and a half out of my day when all is said and done ... sometimes more. Yet I do feel it needs to be a priority to give me energy for everything else.

      Balance --- so necessary, and so very hard to achieve!
