Goals

This September has been a month to remember, hasn’t it? Wow. So much has happened. Many prayers have been prayed for the people devastated by the disasters going on around the world. 🙁

On the bright side, we celebrated my daughter Breanna’s 15th birthday! She had a special day, and I’m so thankful for the beautiful young woman she’s become.

As for my goals, since my last update, I was able to cross off 8 out of 10. Not too bad!

Here’s what I accomplished:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Work on memorizing a verse of scripture as a family — We’re still working on memorizing Psalm 23.

2. Visit the library to check out more school books — The library is one of our favorite places to visit, and I think we’re using it more now than we ever have for homeschooling.

Personal Goals:

3. Finish reading 1 Corinthians — I also ended up reading through 2 Corinthians and Galations. I’m about to get started on the book of Ephesians.

What are your goals for this week?

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written a goals post but since it’s still so helpful for me to do so, I’m going to keep at it. 🙂

Believe it or not, writing these posts is beneficial because whether it takes me one week or three weeks to get most of my goals crossed off, it helps to have them written down for remembrance and accountability.

Here’s what I accomplished:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Work on memorizing a verse of scripture as a family — We’re working on memorizing Psalm 23.

2. Read books together as a family — We recently got new library cards and can now check out books from two local library systems so we have no shortage of books to read. I honestly prefer this to buying a bunch of new books or bringing a bunch out of storage since we’re still in limbo when it comes to RVing in the foreseeable future. My boys also love that we can check out video games and even “preview” games they’re thinking about possibly buying before making the leap to do so.

Personal Goals:

3. Finish reading the book of John in the Bible and get started on Acts — I ended up finishing Acts as well and now I’m reading through the book of Romans.

4. Email a friend back

5. Start using the My Fitness Pal app again

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Work on homeschool plan for this year — It’s done and we started school this week.

8. Go shopping for new shoes for Elisabeth — She picked out new My Little Pony shoes that light up when she walks. 🙂

Business Goals:

9. Edit & upload at least one new video to my YouTube channel — I started editing a video but have yet to finish. I’m trying to find my rhythm again when it comes to YouTube but it’s taking me a while.

10. Edit & upload at least one new video to our family YouTube channel
