Streams in a Wasteland

January:

Tithe consistently-I haven't tithed very consistently, but I haven't let any time go by in which I have not tithed on my full amount I made at work. So, I am 3 weeks behind on tithing, but I have added up those three weeks and will give tonight. 

Read through the Bible- I'm behind, but I've consistently read at least something almost every day.

Run 500 miles- I think I've ran maybe twice this month, so far. Which is not good at all, but it's been freezing! However, I ran a few times at the gym and am proud to say that I decreased my time and shaved around 4 minutes off of my 3 mile runs, putting me at just under 30 minutes for 3 miles. I'm happy about that.

Read one book per month- I lost my WITDORJ book for a week, so that really put me behind on finishing it for January. My new goal is to finish it this month.

Plan/cook more meals, eat out less- Some weeks I've done well with this and other weeks I haven't. I've not spent much in groceries for February, but I have spent too much on random odds and ends.

One piece of poetry per week- I haven't been keeping up with this one at all. I think I have a total of 2 or 3 short poems written. I may do away with this goal, or switch to one piece of poetry per month.

Journal once a week- I believe I have kept up with this one.

Blog once per month- Done!

Buy a gun- Saving in progress.

Memorize one verse per week- I think I missed one week of this. I'm back on track today though, having memorized verse 9 of Psalm 22. 

So, all in all, I didn't do terrible with my January/yearly goals. I will admit I've fallen a little off the rocker since I did not blog my february goals at the beginning of the month. The main reason being that I do not have a laptop (mine is broken) so whenever I want to use one I have to use my boyfriend's and he's back in school. So it's been occupied. I will try to plan better for March.

Here are my goals for February. 

February:

-Pay insurance before the end of the month

-Learn I Am Not Alone on the guitar

-Sand armoire

-Memorize Psalm 8:9-15

-Save $600 towards taxes

-Finish WITDORJ

-Watch Arrojo cutting dvd 

-Run 16 miles

My yearly goals still apply, and the February goals will be in addition to those. I will write later to give an update on how it is going/went!
