The Advice I Gave (But Never Took)

I know it's been a while since I really wrote anything of substance.  I'm sure you're tired of following my goal progress every week and are wondering what's going on.  I have to just be completely honest with myself and with you.  I am frequently finding myself paralyzed by fear.  The funny thing is that I just wrote a book on fear and how to overcome fear, and here I sit having wasted so much time fighting some of the things I've been needing to do the most. The truth is that we all dole out advice to others and…

Goal Setting: Week of February 21, 2016

This week was still another week where the kids had off due to snow. I am so ready for Spring; I just don't think I can express how little I really get done when the kids are off for snow days. The good news is that some extra time home did allow me to accomplish a few things early. So I guess this week I'll have to call things even. In other news, I found out one of my friends is expecting another baby this week! That was a wonderful way to perk up an otherwise shoddy week. Don't be…

Goal Setting: Week of February 14, 2016

Yet again, I had quite an unproductive week.  Thanks to more snow, the kids were off two days, and then they had a scheduled day off for Friday in honor of President's Day (why the snow make up day was for Friday and not Monday I'll never know).  And when the kids are home, well...I don't get much done.  Here's what I did accomplish though: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) (Going to do this today) Mental: Journal (1/7) Finish reading The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis Finish 1 cross stitch colors Physical: Drink soda only 2 days 6…

Goal Setting: Week of February 7, 2016

Well, this week was somewhat of a distracting week. Our family was in a tough spot since we had to put our dog down, and we made the decision to move forward to finding a new puppy. I realize some may reject the idea of getting a new puppy right away, especially with all the training a new puppy will need to have, and whilst having to research 'dog kennel cost' in order to find the most cost effective and suitable one for them and for us, as well as all of the other products we have to purchase! But…

Goal Setting: Week of January 31, 2016

Thanks to all of the snow that came last weekend, I did fairly well on my goals for this past week.  The kids were home Monday through Wednesday and had two-hour delays on Thursday and Friday, which cut out my gym time.  So even though I accomplished absolutely NONE of my physical goals, I did fairly well with everything else.  Here how things looked for this past week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Finish reading Make It Happen by Lara Casey Finish reading Where Is God When It Hurts? by Philip Yancey Finish 2 cross stitch colors (I…
