Goals and Dreams for July 2023

 


            July and August are, I think, kind of the glory months for lake dwellers. The water is beautiful and at its best, and more than ever, these are the months we want to soak up right where we are! But we still have room for goals, so here are the things I hope to accomplish this month.

ONE. Finish my study in Exodus and begin working on Leviticus. I spent the first half of the year deep-dive studying in Exodus and wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue into Leviticus or spend some time in another part of the Bible, but I’ve decided to go ahead with Leviticus. I have a few days of finishing Exodus, and then I’ll move into the next book! 

TWO. Keep our godson for an overnighter. It’s been a few weeks since he came to visit, so we’re picking him up for a quick overnight stay this month. Looking forward to seeing him and sharing him with our friends and family while we have him with us!

THREE. Enjoy some fun date nights. We have some specific date adventures lined up for this month, and I’m super excited about them. While we try to always be intentional about setting apart time for dates, sometimes they look remarkably similar to one another. We’re doing some new and different things this month!

FOUR. Enjoy my work trip. I have to be gone for a couple of days this month to attend a work event. As you know, Ryan and I are not big fans of being apart, so this will be the first time in almost two years that has happened. We’re not looking forward to that part at all, but I am looking forward to getting to spend time with my new friends from work!

FIVE. Schedule fewer things to make more time for rest. I realize the above does not make this one seem possible, but it actually is. We have a bunch of things on the calendar throughout July, but we’re actively committed to not adding much more so we can have time to enjoy our home and the lake atmosphere while it’s extra nice and warm. We’ve been working so hard for many weeks and want to enjoy the fruit of our labors as much as we can.

            How about you? Any goals for the new month ahead?
