March Evaluation

Due to circumstances this past year, I'm not really changing my goals. Some will go that are not top priority, but I'm keeping the ones that fit with the overarching goal of having a God-centered life and the things I see Him leading me to right now. So thus far this is how it goes:

Spiritual

• Spend at least 10 minutes praying daily- Yes, usually for strength or wisdom sporadically throughout the day
• Spend at least 10 minutes reading and reflecting on the Bible daily- More improvement, but still want to grow more in this
• Memorize verses with the kids - We are working through verses related to lent and catechism
• Memorize Scripture- Currently working on verses that go with North Star Catechism

Marriage

• Go out for a date once a week- Yes
• Go on a night away once this year- Need to plan this
• Read 3 books together this year- Started a list of books we want to read together
• Discuss plan weekly on Sunday afternoon- Better, hoping Jim being on days will improve this

Kids

• Spend 30 minutes of one on one time with each child every week- still need to work on this
• Go to playgroup each Tuesday- Missed a couple 
• Write in individual journals at least 3 times this year- I have not written in any this month, but hoping to get caught up
• Finish Jamey's 1st year Scrapbook- This is not a top priority,but hoping to at least do some work on it this year

Homemaking

• Keep up with cleaning schedule- Doing major overhaul so did not do much with this
• Keep up with my calendar- Starting to do better with this
• Being fully present when with my family- Getting better at this, but still struggling

Ministry

• Continue sending out Prayer List- Yes

Personal

• Read a book a month for myself- Finished "The Odyssey"
• Journal 5 days a week- doing better in this, but still not where I want to be
• Write (books) 3 days a week- Went through my creative writing bucket
• Edit novel to prepare for publishing and research publishing options- No editing this month
• Finish Rosetta Stone Russian level 1 - Have not worked on this
• Continue to meet once a month with writing group- Not able to meet this month
• Blog 3 days a week- Definitely kept up with this

Health

• Go to water aerobics once a week- had to miss one
• Maintain weight until birth- Maintained well this month!
• Lose weight after giving birth- 

March flew by with a lot of things going on. We are really seeking to get done with school in a timely manner and get our house more organized before baby, so most of our extra time is in that. I was thankful to get many things done that needed to be done and still get many other things done as well. Looking forward to a beautiful April!

How was your March?
