February Update

It is time for another update on the 2008 goals.

February was a little rough ... we struggled with sickness or fighting sickness for 1 - 2 weeks.

During those weeks, I definitely got a little lazy.

Definitely have some ground to make up this month especially in Bible memory.

Personal Goals

Blog at least 3 times a week  (you all can attest to this one)

Develop (and use) a Prayer Journal to be more focused in prayer by February. 
(used my new 3x5 card system and feel more organized in my effort to suppot others in prayer)

Read through the Bible in the year. (On track)

Memorize 24 Psalms (1-24) - 2 per month.  (Barely Psalm 3)

Review/Rememorize - James, I - II Thessalonians, I-II Peter, II Timothy, Galatians, Jude (1 per month).
(nothing this month)

Memorize I,II,III John (remaining months after reviewing others).

Exercise 4 days per week.

Meet step goals daily.  (missed about 2 days of hitting 13,000 steps)

Learn Hebrew Using Rosetta Stone program - 4 lessons a week - 2 years.
(I've failed this one in previous years)
(Added 15 in February (short by one) for a total of 56 lessons)

Read 12 books (1 per month) emphasizing American History and Missionary biographies.
(Read 1 whole and 2 halves - finished book on George Washington, read one on Florence Nightengale, 1/2 of one on the home)

Family Goals

Help encourage, format, and edit hubby's commentary on the book of Isaiah.
(suffered a little, but we are getting our rhythm back)

Walk at least 4 miles together each week.  (eeked out at least 1 per week)

Be done with regular housekeeping by the time hubby comes home each day. (Improvement seen)

Ministry Goals

Write 1 card to a college student each week.  (14 valentines to local students, 2 valentines to nonlocal college student, 1 card to recruit in boot camp)

Write one note of thanks or appreciation each week (in the home, at church, in the community).
(5 for the month)

Entertain in our home at least once a month for a meal.  (got in 1)

Find a place of ministry.
(still focusing on encouragement for others)

Home Goals

Continue developing a useful meal/recipe book - Reorganize it monthly.  (Yes, it is organized as we speak!)
