love 01.

I meant to post this on Sunday, and then that didn't happen, and then the week got really busy ... so it's almost the end of the week, but here were/are my goals.

I realized that all three of my goals tie into my overall goal to love--creating a peaceful home is a way of showing love to my husband and those who enter our home, and reading the Word helps me to love God and realize His love for me.

// love: my husband //

• We spent most of Saturday having a game day. We purchased the game "Firefly" (based on the tv show); it's really time-intensive but we enjoy it.

// love: others //

• Enjoyed some tea and time with friends during our ladies' night at a local coffee shop.

// love: myself //

• I started working out again--my day usually starts off with 30-40 minutes of exercise, a shower, and tea while I read the Bible. I'm currently reading Isaiah and Psalms.
• I also finished "The Best Yes" and read "Let's All Be Brave." I started "Let's All Be Brave" thinking that it would be a fun, light read to occupy Saturday evening. It turned into a challenge that really spoke to something that's been on my heart for a few months--I was totally surprised. 

// home //

•  Organized the pantry.

// the Word //

• Read one chapter daily of Isaiah and Psalms.

And, for this week:

// love: my husband //

• Omitting for now, in case he reads this. :)

// love: others //

• Specifically encourage those I see at the center. 

// love: myself //

• Start reading "The Screwtape Letters."
• Read at least one chapter of "The Locust Effect."

 // home //

• Create a daily schedule for homemaking contributions (or find my old one).
• Organize the bookshelves and set aside some books to donate. 

// The Word //

• Continue reading one chapter daily of Isaiah and Psalms.
