Blogging Challenge – Day 13 – My Goals

Since I feel like I just did this one a few months ago on my New Year’s Resolution Post, I’ll just give a status of how I’m doing and any changes/additions I have to these goals:
  • Read through the Bible in a year – Chronological version 
    • Status: Doing pretty good with this one. Little behind, but really enjoying it so far. I’m in Joshua right now. 
  • Have a quiet time and pray once a day. I’m trying to do this in the morning.
    • Not so well with the consistency. This is a good reminder. Mornings are rough for me! 
  • Pray for global missions 
    • My hubby, Jason is going to Ecuador in April, so very excited about that and also excited about helping the team this week pack medicine for the trip (it’s a medical missions trip with our church over the week of Masters) 
  • Post 15 blog posts a month – every other day 
    • January – Check!
    • February – Check! (this is why I wrote 3 posts today! – procrastinate much?)
  • Run 400 miles in 2011 – about 8 miles a week 
    • 75 miles in Jan. and Feb. At this rate I’ll be at 450 for the year! 
  • Run another Half Marathon 
    • I’m thinking I will do the Augusta one this year 
  • Go to the gym at least 8 times a month – so my company will reimburse me!
    • January – Check!
    • February – Check!
  • Find a new way to serve locally
    • Haven’t done this yet. Although I have some ideas…
  • Read 6 books and review them on the blog 
    • Just about finished (1 chapter left) of Seeds of Turmoil. Review is coming soon! 
  • Cook more homemade meals
    • Does Frozen Turkey Burgers, French Fries, and Green Beans count? 
    • BTW – these things are AMAZING! and only 160 calories and 5 grams of fat, yet they taste like the real thing – no joke! 
  • Save for a Macbook
    • Thanks to our tax refund, we are getting our first Macbook in the mail tomorrow! 
  • Play the piano more  – reignite my love for music 
    • This one has been a definite FAILURE so far. Will keep trying 
New Goals:
  • Buy a Rental Property in 2011
  • Learn the Guitar again. I partially did when I was in high school, but for some reason, I’m wanting to learn how to play again. Maybe it’s all those Taylor Swift music videos I’ve been watching? 🙂 
Until next time!
