Goals - Post #2

#7 Floss Daily 
Pearly White! 😆

#6 Give myself a budget and stick with it
I had every opportunity to eat out for lunch today and I still made effort to bring my lunch.  Now part of it might have been because I didn't want to fight the cold and walk anywhere for lunch I'm ended up being so busy that lunch never came but I didn't spend any money :) still waiting on Scott to give me my budget. 

#5 Appreciate Now
I failed a lot today.  It's rough at work right now. I'm thankful I have a job.  It pays our bills and it has been a financial blessing.  I know the Lord brought me to this job.  I complained about a current task I'm assigned and I complained about expectations that seem very unrealistic.  It's a struggle and I complained.  It doesn't make it right.  I still shouldn't complain.  I caught myself a few times saying, "I to quit complaining". I am glad I recognized it, but now I need to recognize it before I speak. Mathis brings me to the next obvious failed goal today.  I didn't observe, I didn't keep quiet.  I pray I can move from recognition to control.  Abigail made a 92 on her quarter Science Test.  I'm proud of her for the studying she has been doing lately. It has been very easy on us and she has been taking responsibility of her studies.  Elliott was so sweet when I came home.  He hugged and loved on me which made what felt like a rough day feel so much better.  It's cold outside.  I'm warm inside.  Praise The Lord!  How wonderful Wednesday night prayer service is!  Thank you Lord!  Thank you for the lesson on being a peacemaker.  I want to be a peacemaker in all situations of my life.  I pray that I can be obedient with that commandment in ALL situations.  Me, be a peacemaker. Min an do it with His strength, not my own.  

#4 Encourage More
We have a member of our church who is battling cancer.  The women's ministry leader is putting together a basket for her.  I am contributing some lotion and maybe a candle. I am also planning to send a card to her to encourage her.  I will post once that is completed because I don't want to post something I really haven't done yet.  I want this to be a way for me to be accountable and don't want to make empty promises.  I completed my encouragement cards to the Wednesday Lil' ministry workers.  Now all I need to do is address them, stamp them and mail them.  Yay!

#3 Quit Complaining
Failed as stated above in appreciate now

#2 Observe More, Talk Less
Failed.  I spent a great deal talking with my boss.  Trying to get a point across.  I should have kept quiet, listened and observed more.  Quit beating the dead horse!

#1 read my Bible daily
 I read Proverbs 5 & 6, at church we studied peacemaker and psalms 37.
