Be The Change: Mornings and Bills

From my change/goals list, I've decided that I am going to work on two goals.  I'd rather work on one at a time, but one has absolutely got to be completed, and the other is sort of a good foundation goal of which I hope the rest of my days will build upon.

For the next two weeks I am going to work on becoming an early riser and spending my first waking moments with God.

&

Getting our bills, mail, and paperwork trail in order.

I am going to start keeping track of my days and time and what I spend it doing for now.

By Beautiful Grace

Change and Goals List

To make one positive change, one new habit, or work on a new goal, every 2 weeks... that's 24 new positive changes a year in a good direction!!  (Maybe sometimes I take a whole month when it's needed).  Maybe some weeks I work on two, put try to give each one their own time.

My Value System

 I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact—to borrow from the language of the saints—to live ‘in grace’ as much of the time as possible. . . -  

 

I would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which I could function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God.
