So 6 weeks ago I started a goal challenge and I was so excited to get involved with the girls from
Covered in Grace,
Shaping up to be a Mom, and
Ramblings of a Southern Belle! The goal I choose for part one was to deepen my relationship with the Lord. I know that a deeper relationship takes time and I knew that I would not be where I wanted to be when I finished, but I also know you have to start somewhere! So I made mini goals for myself for the 6 weeks and they are below!
 |
| By Reading my Bible daily |
 |
| By writing in my prayer journal daily |
 |
By praying at least twice daily
|
Over the last six weeks I have been more faithful in doing these things then I have in a long time just because I knew I would one day have to share with you my lovelies whether I did ok or I just let it slip. Well let me share with you a little bit about how I accomplished these mini goals. Reading my Bible was an easy one because I found the you-version app on my Iphone and was able to read my Bible where ever I happened to be that I had some extra time. It even comes with different devotionals (which are amazing, I really enjoyed the She Read Truth Devo). I have to admit even though I did right some in my prayer journal I did not do it daily all the time (hangs head in shame). I did however do better than I usually do when I try to start writing in one. Lastly, I learned that I absolutely love praying in the morning when I first wake up. Most the time at night I would fall asleep during my prayers, I know I am a horrible person. I guess I just found it helped me to relieve the daily stress talking to my heavenly father. So although I am not where I want to be I am further along in my journey then I was.
Thanks ladies for putting this wonderful link up together! I can't wait till the next one starts!
Jessica.. I once heard a pastor say... "When we fall asleep during our prayers... it's like we're falling asleep in Jesus' arms."
ReplyDeleteI love that. I've found myself falling asleep that way so many times. You are definitely not a horrible person. How wonderful that the very last thing that you do before you sleep is talk to your Savior.
What a fantastic set of goals you set out to achieve. =) I think we should all follow suit.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next round! Xxo
Awe, thank you! That makes me feel so much better! I can't wait for the next round!
DeleteThose are great goals! I agree with Brooke, I have found myself falling asleep many times while praying and I felt so safe and snuggly it that makes sense..haha. But morning are good too!

It feel absolutely amazing! I think some of the best sleep I get is when I fall asleep praying! Thanks for your comment lovely!
DeleteI love your goals! They're something I want to work on especially reading my Bible. I'm going to check out the She Reads Truth devotional =)
ReplyDeleteIt is really good. They have a new one every month and a half or less depending on what they are writing about! I think as I have gotten older I have become more interested in what the Bible really says, but I still struggle to read the Old Testament just because a lot of it is a bunch of names and wars.
DeleteHappy birthday!!! Saw it on blogger birthdays!
