Bible Study

Philippians 4
Romans
1 Corinthians

Memory Verse

Psalm 97:11 (New Living Translation)
"Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right."

Husband Encouragement

• Take time to stop and hug him and kiss him each morning and after work.
• Write him a thank you note for all the things he does for me and how well he took care of me last week when I was sick.
• Pray for him as he leads our home to be the kind of leader God wants him to be.
• Pray for his interactions at work. Then text him encouragement during the day.

Personal Goals

• Do something fun or relaxing for at least 30 minutes each night.
• Stop & pray. Sometimes it is OK to pray as I go and be in conversation with God while I work, but sometimes I need to stop & pray for His guidance and help. Don't be so rushed this week that I don't take time to stop and "hug" (see my checklist from a couple of weeks ago) my Heavenly Father.
• "Stop & Smell the Roses" - Stop and really look at God's creation, & praise Him. And, stop & really enjoy my husband and play with my nieces. Enjoy what is important in life. Don't get so wrapped up in trying to do all the right "stuff" (keep house clean, eat right, exercise...) that I don't appreciate what really matters. Enjoy the small/but majorly important things in life.

Work Goals

• Program planning sheets for fall term.
• Make progress toward all the filing I am behind on - set aside at least 30 minutes a day to do this.
