I’ll admit it right here, up front–I have not been sticking with my goals very well at all. There’s really no excuse for it. I did have a spring cold last week, and those are no fun. But for my May goals, I didn’t really have to be feeling well to work on them. It pretty much came down to laziness and mixed priorities.
At least I realize my issues, though. May is only half over. I still have 18 days to change things around. There’s still time to rearrange my priorities and develop better habits.
So, how are my goals looking so far?
1. Reading my through the New Testament for 30 minutes a day: I have not been consistent with this at all. However, I have been doing it more often than I had been before. Progress is being made–but I can do better. Part of my problem has been that I haven’t been getting up at 5:30, which is the time I set aside to read. Illness and fatigue has had me not getting up until 7 or later. I need to work on that.
2. Praying: This one I have been doing better at. Prayer is becoming an intricate part of my daily life–from time spent praying when I wake up and when I go to sleep, to short prayers said throughout the day. The thing that I would like to work on now is learning to cultivate deeper prayers and praying God’s word.
3. Making up menus and sticking with them: Menu what? FAIL! I haven’t even tried planning this month. I seem to be waiting for that perfect time. That time that just doesn’t seem to happen for whatever reason. I need to quit putting it off and get stuff done!
How about you? How are you doing with your goals this month?
