Is it worrying anyone else that the weather is not getting cooler yet? 

So a couple of days ago I decided to make weekly goals.  I look at all of these things I want to do more of like reading for fun (which includes my bible and other books not school related), working out, flossing, journaling, blogging more, etc etc. 

Aren’t there always lots of things you want to do and you never seem to get around to them OR you see that you have so many of these things that you just never want to do any of them?  I do…

So this week I decided to begin with 3 goals each week and I will do them each three different times over a week.  The three things I chose are:

1.to walk 2 miles

2.to read my bible

3. to floss – as random as that sounds I NEVER do it and I really need do

It seems to be working so far because I keep track of when I do these things and having only 3 to focus on right now helps me to actually get them done. 

One thing that crosses my mind when I jot down when I specifically do my bible reading is “could this be considered legalistic?”  But to be honest, I feel like God has designed me to have lots of structure and I fall apart without it so having weekly goals of spending time with God is not something I consider a bad thing…and I also make sure that when I am logging when I read my bible I say a prayer like ”I am writing this down to not be legalistic but b/c I really do want to spend time with You.”

So far I like the idea of looking at short term goals and I hope to add on to them as the weeks go by

 Everyone have a good rest of the week!
