April Report on New Year's Resolution

2014 Resolutions:  Be more like Jesus!

“And Jesus grew in wisdom, and stature and in favor with God and man.”  Luke 2:52

April:  The big focus this month was on the kitchen renovation, which derailed me on some of my goals.   Truthfully, I was totally focused on the DIY projects, and not focused at all on my resolutions...so I have not done the greatest.  Details follow.

Wisdom:

1. Read 100 Books in 2014 

I am up to 23 books...so I have fallen a little behind schedule.  I need to step it up and stop renovating my house for a while :).    Check them out on my Pinterest board.  http://www.pinterest.com/kathywood1/read-100-books-in-2014/  

2. Brain Training Games on Kindle J.  Hey! Goals can be fun J.

April:  I have played some words with friends (KSW1963) and a few games of candy crush and 7 little words...but haven't focused too much on this in April.  

Stature: 

1. Lose any amount of weight.

April:  I am down 20 pounds for the year.   

2.  Beat my 2013 step average/day (6828 steps/day)  

I walked an average of 8212 steps/day in April.

Spiritual: 

1. Read through the New Testament

April:  I am on track (but I had to do some major catching up in the last few days.)

2. Come up with a system to pray intentionally for people (prayer journal) and then do it.

April:  I didn't do so well on this this month.  I got sidetracked by the kitchen renovation.

3.  Continue to make progress on writing the scripture in my own hand.

April:  I didn't write any scripture this month.  This makes 2 months in a row.  

Social:

1.  Make lunch dates 1/month with one of the ladies from the church with the intent of building a relationship.

 

I did not do this in April.  I didn't even think about it since my kitchen was crazy.

2. Entertain in my own home 1/month.   

April:  I did have a couple of ladies over to see my kitchen. 

Dream:

1.  Save money for a trip to Israel.  Research and plan the trip. 

April:  I have saved $340 for my plane fare to Israel. I am behind on my savings now because I didn't really save any money toward it this month.     Tentative dates for the trip are March 16-28 2015. Tentative itinerary can be found here.
