Goals for February: What We Did and Didn’t Do

This past month was crazy. Things happened that I didn’t think would happen for a long time.

If you are a part of our Facebook page you may know that my grandpa passed away last week from cancer. Not something we were expecting. This last week has been spent with family and friends. We’re sad that we will not see Pa here on this earth again but definitely rejoicing that one day we will see him again in Heaven.

My biggest goal last month was to show love in everything I did. That was hard and is going to be a work in progress. It reminded me of praying for patience. If you do God is going to give you opportunities to practice. I had lots of opportunities to practice loving others and I failed many of them. I’m so glad for new beginnings every morning. 🙂

Here are the other goals I was working on:

Personal:
*memorize 1 Peter 2- this didn’t get done, I’m close but not there yet. I will be changing my yearly goal of memorizing 1 Peter -3 John and changing it to 1 Peter and 2 Peter
*get rid of 30 more things of mine, not the boys’ or Ben’s- I’m working on this I have a list of almost 30 things, I’ll be sharing all the things that I’m getting rid of
*read Luke – Acts – I did get this done. 🙂 Just on time, I haven’t read much since the 28th of February honestly though.

Mothering:
*read two chapter books with Seth-  nope. We did read one though. We’re working on another right now.
*come up with some ways for Seth to earn money – I’ll be sharing how Seth will be earning money soon. We’ll be using some chores off this list and making them into cards like these.

Home and Hospitality:
*curtains and pillows for our room- Again this didn’t happen. I had grand plans and even had the date on my calendar when I was going to work on them, but things got crazy.
*have someone over who has never been to our house- Nope. I know who we are going to ask though. 🙂

Health and Fitness:
*GOAL FOR THE YEAR -complete the Fifth/Third 25k on May 9, 2015
*make a training plan for the 25k- still working on this. Hoping to share it soon.

Doula Business:
*get read to send things in for doula certification
*public informational night with other local doulas  – This went amazingly well! We had a great turn out and an offer to present our class at a locals women’s expo. 

Blog:
*eight posts – Yay!! This got done and it was fun! I have lots of good ideas for next month as well, some recipes and DIY projects as well as preschool related posts.
*posts for business blog – nope. The idea is still floating around in my head. Hoping for this coming month. 🙂

How did you do on your goal list? Are there still things that you need to get done from February? It would make me feel a ton better if you shared some things that you didn’t get done with me. 😛
