Monday Meandering... June 20, 2011

Verse of SUMMER 2011... Psalm 29:11 (NLT)
"The LORD gives his people strength.
The LORD blesses them with peace."

I plan to keep this verse through the end of the Summer Library Program.

Bible Study...
* Reading through Exodus.

Husband Encouragement...
* Pray for him at least 3 times daily; first thing in the morning, at lunch time, and on the way home from work. If things come up, could pray more often, but pray for sure at these set times.
* Greet him with a smile, hug, and kiss each morning and at the end of each work day.
* Look for ways to make him feel like "king" of our home.
* Ask him about his dreams, and tell him I hope he reaches them.

Personal Goals...
* Prayer run every day before going to work (5 days a week).
* Swim 4 afternoons after work... weather permitting.
* Set proper boundaries for work and home. Pray for God to help me do this.
* Purposefully love and be affectionate with My Love.
* Practice piano some.

Work Goals...
* Meet with each staff person.
* Work on evaluations for personal board.
* Call Child Care Centers and get lists of names, schools, and ages.
* Read at MRBC Child Development Center.
* Prepare for storytime.
* Change the configuration of the Meeting Room daily for programs.
* Keep up with count of registrations and prizes.
