My Idea For This Blog

To set goals for myself that others can see & encourage me along the way.

Ok.....new for 2009-

I have decided that it is too hard for me in my life right now the way it was set up for last year.

The Lord has laid it on my heart that I must choose to ACT loving.......& part of that is being moderate in my choices.

So each day, I will record how I chose moderation, motivated by my love for God or my love for others. Also, I will choose loving actions & (mostly, I need to demostrate it in the area of MODERATION) because of God's love for me!

Thank-you to each & every one of you who will support & pray for me in this endeavor!

TIME: Jan. 13-19

Jan. 13th: Turned out lights at 9:47. Still haven't met my goal. I think I need to start thinking toward this goal at like 5pm! If I remember tonight, I'll try that & see how that goes.

Jan. 14th: I *think* it was around 9:35. A couple of miss-haps in a few different stores put me behind the rest of the night.

Jan. 15th: 10:30pm!!! I was sewing a new duvet from sheets last night. While I was done w/ everything by 9:25 or so, the Lord still persisted in working on my heart.....as a result, I picked up the book, "Stream in the Dessert," & didn't stop reading/thinking/praying until 10:30.

Jan. 16th: 9:48

Jan. 17th: 9:55 I stayed up.....as I had a hard time falling asleep due to our good news yesterday. (see my other blog ) I just kept thinking of things that needed doing before bed. Things I should have done hours before, but I was too flaky!!!! Roll

Jan 18th: 10:45!!!! I got excited about ironing new pillow shams for my bed-which was a much bigger project than I bargined for-cause then I HAD to put them on, if you know what I mean!

YIKES!!! To bed tonight!

Over all, thought, I am doing so much better! I'm glad, because this idea seems to be working!

Jan. 19th: 10:45 again, but we have friends in from out of town, who we got together w/.
