This Week's Goals


I just finished up my current Bible Study on the book of 2 Timothy this afternoon and man am I fired up!  I just keep thinking: set some goals, get your work done, enjoy your family, and work hard to further the Gospel this week! Here's what I'm focusing on this week:

 Marriage, Mothering, & Family:
1.  Eli starts soccer practice this week!  This is his first time playing and I'm so excited for him.  I also need to take him to the store to buy some related sports equipment before practice.  Eli and Eva are also continuing with gymnastics and start a new session this week. 
2. Read three chapters of God's Promises by Sally Michael aloud to the children this week.  This book is fantastic and I"m hoping we can finish by the end of the month so I can let my sister-in-law borrow it when I see her.  We have also read the first book in this series entitled God's Names.  
3.  Enjoy an at-home date night and spend some time intentionally chatting about life.  

Homemaking: 
4.  Have our house inspected for potential damage from the tree that landed on our roof.  (I'm not anticipating damage but just wanted to make sure since I can't actually see our roof.  It is really high up so I'm not going to risk climbing onto the roof.)  
5.  Spend at least two hours working on gathering tax information.
6.  Order new lamp post and light fixture from Home Depot.  

Personal: 
7.  Finish reading Seasons of Waiting and begin reading another book which is yet to be determined.  Any suggestions?    (Perhaps a nice long visit to the library is in order.)
8.  Exercise three times.  We just joined a gym last weekend so I'm hoping to get in some great exercise this week.

Ministry & Friendships
9.  Spend time catching up with a friend on the phone.
10.  Attend a women's conference at our church this weekend!  Yipee!  I'm super excited.  It's been a while since I've been able to attend a conference specifically geared towards women in person so this will be quite the treat.

What goals do you have for this week?  Did your home have any damage from the storms and tornadoes from last week?

August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin :  I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin.  I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God.  I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like.  This book was a delight to read.  I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women.  Pure awesomeness!  I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience.  I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it.  I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book!  What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Our First Tent Camping Experience

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure.  TENT CAMPING!   Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family.  We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure.  It was wonderful.   One of the neatest aspects of our trip was the fact that Nina & Poppy Steve (Brandon's parents) were able to meet up with us!  (They live a good 10 hours away from us so this was a real treat.)  We had so much spending time with them.  We stayed at  Hillman Ferry Campground  and I would definitely stay there again.   Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming.  The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake.  I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake.  (The closest lake to us no longer
