Monday Meandering... January 17, 2011

Verse of Week... Philippians 2:14-16

¹⁴ Do everything without grumbling or arguing, ¹⁵ so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky ¹⁶ as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

Bible Study...
* One Year Bible
* What Makes a Man Feel Loved/ Barnes, Bob
* In the Eye of the Storm/ Lucado, Max

Husband Encouragement...

* Be authentically thankful for all he does, and be less impatient with him as he tries to take care of me with my pulled muscle.
* Let him lead our home.
*Need him more.
* Pray for him to do well at his job and to love God more.
* Try to do one small thing every day to show him he is special to me.
* Make small talk in the morning. ["Good Morning", "Thank you", kiss & hug]
* Make time each evening to give him undivided attention.

Personal Goals...

* Press on with "7 in 2011" plan. Made good progress last two weeks. Saw results. Keep going as soon as my pulled muscle will let me.
