April goals

Time to set some goals for a new month!  (If I had posted them yesterday, everyone would have thought my list an April Fool's joke!)  Lovely graphic at top is by  Abby at Little Birdie Blessings.

So here are some goals for April:

* Do an April Scripture writing challenge
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones

* Read the March/April chapters in the Daily Walk Bible

* Continue our discipleship study with new believers

* Help a recently widowed friend with the challenges of 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

* Cook and bake for Easter breakfast at church

* Plan some special family times as we have 3 birthdays this month

* 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

 

HEALTHY HABITS FOR APRIL:  Drink more water/get more sleep
WORD FOR 2019: Courage

 And here is how March went:

 

* Do a March Scripture writing challenge -- DONE!
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones -- DONE!

* Read the March chapters in the Daily Walk Bible  -- not done.  Our friend went to the hospital on March 5 and ended up going Home to heaven on March 8.  I think it no coincidence that I stopped reading on March 4.  Something had to give, and it was the yearly read through the Bible.

* Continue our discipleship study with new believers -- DONE!

* Help a recently widowed friend with her husband's memorial service and life in general -- DONE!
* Continue study for Sunday School -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus -- DONE!
* Get to bed by 9 pm each night   -- not done consistently,  but quite often
* Limit sugar -- not done consistently
* Drink enough water each day -- not done

 * Walk and/or exercise each day -- managed 3 or 4 times weekly so I'll call this -- DONE!

* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week (with some help from Clean Mama) -- not done
