MY 8 IN 2008!1. To learn to wait on God
Through alot of circumstances God is teaching me to wait on him! I am amazed to see what he is doing and I only hope to be a better student as I grow closer to Him!
2. To practice better hospitality
If helping my daughter with her bake sale to buy Bibles for people in Haiti count, then I think I did good!
3. To speak truth in love and to stop gossip before it begins
A little bit, but I think I may have needed truth spoke in love to me a couple of times this month!
4. To pray for others more. To pray for the salvation of my family (extended)Doing better here!
5. To take better care of God's temple
I bought a book called "Never say diet" by Chantel Hobbs. She's a women that lost over 200lbs. Also except for this week because Steve and Jeremiah are gone I have been walking every morning with the mutt, and of course riding my bike all over A-town!!!
6. To study 8 books of the Bible
Still working on Philippians and Titus
7. To memorize 8 verses
One that I have memorized this month is Philippians 1:9 - and this is my prayer: That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight..... I have begun putting this verse in the kids birthday cards at church.
8. To organize all the closets, bookshelves and storage areas in my house.
Here I feel pretty good! Our storage room downstairs is clean. Our spare bedroom is on it's way, and if I had a camera (Steve took both for him and Jeremiah) I would show you my new spice rack idea. It came off of Mari's blog here. I couldn't afford that one, so I improvised. I take a picture later!

You are doing great.
Though I did not do this at the start of '08, I so love your ideas...they have inspired me to pray about what the Lord would have me do this year to purposely grow in my walk with Him and in various areas of my life, as He directs! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job this month! Wish I could walk with you. . . .
Oh, you seem to be doing so well on your goals. You go girl! Hugs, e-Mom
I really love your list! I can relate to each one because I need to do the same. Love the verse! Can't wait to see the picture of the spice rack. Have a good day!
What a great month and great review. I feel encouraged by reading your post. I really like Chantel's book and approach, and I hope to make it to the next phase by summer's end!
Thanks for joining in again!
Blessings,
