My Goals for April 2016


As expected, I got off track with all of my goals in March.  There was so much going on that I lost focus - but I thoroughly enjoyed our travels and our visitors! 

Here's how it all went down this past month.

Spiritual Growth:  Use the She Reads Truth app for Bible study every day.  I actually stayed on track fairly well here, but did miss a few days.  It proved what I already knew - if I don't have my devotional time first thing in the morning, but think I'll get to it later in the day, I almost never do.

Family:  Write a note to each of my immediate family members at least twice this month.  I only did this for one family member.

Relationships/Service:  Text one friend each week to let them know I am thinking of and praying for them.  I just missed this one week.

Personal Development/Health:  Eat something green every weekday.  When I was home, I did well with this goal, but once our trips began, I definitely failed here!  I hope to get back to healthier eating in April.

Blog:  Spend 30 minutes each weekday writing for the blog.  Again, I kept up with this for the first half of the month, but didn't do it all after that.

I'm almost scared to say this, but April looks to be a calmer month!  Here's what I hope to accomplish in the coming weeks.

Spiritual Growth:  Write out a specific prayer list for each of my immediate family members at the beginning of the month and pray through it every day.  I had this as a yearly goal last year and am finding I miss having this list to go to every day.  It gives me clear direction as I pray for my husband and children.

Family:  Write a note to each of my immediate family members at least twice this month.  I want to give this another try for April.

Relationships/Service:  Text one friend each week to let them know I am thinking of and praying for them.   I'll set this goal for another month because it's a simple way of reaching out to family and friends to let them know I care about them.

Personal Development/Health:  Eat 3 servings of fruits and vegetables every week day.  Hopefully this will help me get back in the habit of paying more attention to what I'm eating.

Blog:  Post to Instagram 4 days a week.  I've never been very good at taking pictures consistently, but I want to document our days a little more - they're passing so quickly! 

Are you working on meeting any goals right now?

  1. It sounds like you had a busy month, but that it was a fun one, too. As you know, goals are great, but we can't let them get in the way of living our lives and spending time with our loved ones. :)
