February is a short month, but it’s
a longer short month this time! Happy Leap Year!! I spent some time this week
thinking through the month and trying to decide what things were most important
to tackle. I don’t want to overload myself, but I do want to be intentional as
I go through the days ahead. Here’s what I landed on:
ONE. Start leading a
Bible study. I’m so excited to be
helping with a new Bible study group through my church. It’s a young women’s
group, and I haven’t led a women’s group for years! Not since before I was
married, actually! (Unless I’m missing one.) This has all come about pretty
quickly, but I’m excited to get started and meet some new friends in the process.
TWO. Figure out our
birthday trip. We have been wrestling
for weeks with where and when to go for our birthday trip this year. Part of the
holdup has been in waiting to know for sure some of my speaking commitments,
but I would love to nail down the timing of this so I can start dreaming in earnest!
THREE. Plan our
Valentine’s Day adventure. I am not quite sure
how we are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year. Last year we were just
four days away from moving and cobbled together an at-home dinner, using whatever
we hadn’t packed from the kitchen. It was a sweet night, but I’m looking
forward to something a little calmer this year!
FOUR. Work on crafting
retreat/conference messages. I have three events coming up that I need to start working on in
earnest. I have some brainstorms, but they need to become more defined than
that, so I need to begin my official crafting phase.
FIVE. Keep working on my living room re-vision. I have some good ideas and even
a couple of items for fixing up that one wall that needs some polishing. Ideally,
I’d love to finish it. But I also know I can’t rush finding the perfect pieces,
so I’ll keep my goal at working on it. If it becomes fully finished, then yay!
I think that will be enough to keep
me occupied for the month, especially since I know other little things will pop
up along the way. I’m excited to see how the month shapes up as it goes along.
How about you? Any goals for this
month to come?

Here’s an idea for a birthday get-away: Visit the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. You’ll need 1 day for each. I think you and Ryan would love it!
Hey Anonymous! - Oh my goodness, we DO love those! The Creation Museum was our very first birthday getaway ever, and it was so much fun. The Ark Encounter wasn't built then (how is our marriage that old?) so we went back two years ago and did that one. The Ark had a far bigger impact on me than I expected it to. I had just studied the Flood in depth in my Precept Bible study, so it was extra meaningful. I absolutely echo you that those both make a wonderful getaway!
Fun goals to jazz up a blah month!
Tamar - YES!!!
