July Goals

July goals?!?!?!?!  But it is still June.  I know, I know but getting a head start is never a bad thing.  I'm learning that the earlier I set my mind on things, the earlier I get them started and the earlier I feel a sense of relief when they are complete.  Sooooooo, here goes.


1) Keep up the healthy lifestyle I blogged about yesterday.  I have been working at it for a few weeks but I could always use more discipline.

2) Get up early on a more consistent basis.  From 5:00-6:30 AM is my time.  It is the time that I do my devotion.  I make a cup of coffee and I curl up on the couch with little Lu for some quality time in the Word.  I always open the living room door so that I can listen to the sounds of the early morning and it does really good things for my soul.  Plus, I get some time with Lu while Andrew and Ellie sleep and I really appreciate soaking it up.

3) Enjoy some time with old friends.  I have a friend from college that is getting married in July and the wedding is in Portland.  I haven't seen her in a few years and I am really looking forward to spending 4 or 5 days exploring the city with such an awesome lady.  Not to mention, Meredith is going as well and we are practically going to be inseparable.  I mean seriously, 5 days with your best friend is really all anyone could ask for.  Well that and new bicycle.  But, I digress.

4) In a month where I will be constantly traveling, and by constantly I mean 3 out of 4 weekends, I want to make it a goal to slow down and appreciate my time as an engaged 27 year old.  Times like these are priceless and I want to make sure I soak in the blessings of getting married and watching close friends do the same. 

Well, I think that is it.  What are your goals for July?

Much Love,
