• Memorize verses with the kids - We are not learning anything new currently
• Memorize Proverbs 31:10-31 and Romans 1 (I hope to add more to it, but this is where I want to start)- I read over Proverbs 31:10-31 and have 10-14 down, Have not even worked on this in June

Marriage

Homemaking

• Blog 3 days a week- Not at all. I've wanted to, but my thoughts are really scattered in the busyness. Hoping to get some down time soon

Health

• Go to water aerobics once a week- Unable to do this this month, hoping to start back soon
• Maintain weight until birth- Gained more than I wanted, but less than previous pregnancies!
• Lose weight after giving birth- Beginning to lose the weight, but not being super active about it at the moment

June has been back and forth. Some days have been wonderful and others hard. We are learning together to trust God and His word completely and fully, His design for marriage and family and how to walk faithfully. I'm thankful to be excelling in the goals that are the most important priorities, by God's grace. I pray that will continue and that I will be able to add the others back in as God allows or completely toss those that need to go. I'm thankful to be learning so much and hope next month to share more of what God is teaching me with you.

What was June like for you?
