A more discipline life

I was sorting through some papers the other day and found our goal sheets that each of us made at the beginning of the year. They were simple list of things, limited to four things, we wanted to do this year. The boys had things like go to the zoo, learn all of the letters:), things like that. Mine said 1. Go to Atlanta 2. Start a couples Bible study. 3. Write a children's devotion 4. Manage a financial budget. Well the year is almost gone and even though I've helped my boys complete their tasks.....I only completed one of mine. We went on vacation to Atlanta this year. So much fun! The boys really enjoyed the aquarium. Anyway, the point is I am really bad about having goals, starting them head on and than never finishing them. When I started reading this book I began to fell empowered again. Than overwhelmed. Than mad at myself for having so many things I can think of that need to be completed.

Well, than I decided no matter how long my list is if I do one thing at a time consistently.....I WILL finish what I started! Crystal Paine gives so much helpful advice and adds Bible verses all through the book. Plus, there is an added bonus! Wonderful other women to help hold me accountable and share with each other. So, if you have a project that has been nagging at you for a long time (or several like me) join us at 21 Day of Self Discipline Challenge!

Today is Day 1. Like I said before there are a lot of things I would like to complete. The things on the above list, exercise, house projects......but what I thought a good place to begin would be with the above list. Who knows maybe I'll even finish it before the year is over!

So, here I go! Today I decided my Major project will be to start a couples Bible study. I'm sort of cheating on this considering my husband is helping me. This will be a joint effort:) We have divided up the project in 21 small goals for each day and at the end we will be starting our study with a group of people! So excited!! Also, part of the assignment for today was to complete a tiny project. I cleaned out my mail:) My husband was happy to see a clean box, with no junk mail!

It's feels so good to be working towards something and actually see the light at the end of the tunnel!
