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.

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.

Pay for the order of the person behind you in line. Hold the door for someone else. Smile at a stranger. Shovel someone else's sidewalk--without reward (or mow their lawn...or rake their leaves). Create a work of art for someone else. Send…

29 Days of Love {Challenge}

February is always regarded the month of love because of Valentine's Day being February 14.  This is the day when we busy ourselves trying to show outward signs of affection toward our spouses and significant others.  While loving your spouse and significant other is certainly important, we are not just called to love those who love us but instead to love all others. So this month, instead of just loving those who love you and giving to those who will give to you, I challenge you to take the time out of your day to do one kind thing for…
