Explaining

Army Inside U.S. to Deal with Civil Unrest Beginning Next Month

Not sure if this is true but one of my son's friends has a brother that was overseas in the war and this whole time we've known the friend and his mom they didn't know when the brother would be coming back ....

the brother came home yesterday --- wonder if many military personnel will be coming home to aid in this unit?

In honor of Elul Day 3/4

thanks Anna for reminding me I even made such a goal post --- touchdown? LOL

below is pasted my goals 2008 .... should we be outta here soon I'm seeing what was done/not done...should we have a few more months, well there's things to do either way.

Goals 2008

First some background.  I thought there should be four parts to my goals list for 2008 and cover three areas where applicable in each of the four parts.  Let me explain why.  And thank Anna for the insight

Deuteronomy 6:4-5

4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. ((could this be both mind and strength...possibly....a smooshed word, remember that taking 2 words and melding them into one?))

Mark 12:29-30

29And Yeshua answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

 30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

((and you thought Yeshua was all about the new only))

Renew - Soul - Spiritual

For Yeshua - Praise HIM and Thank HIM Daily

Does reciting Psalm 23 count?  if so Check

For Others - pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) Pray for the peace of 
                      Jerusalem: they shall  prosper that love thee.

I don't know if I remember to do this daily, but I do constantly  Check

Personal - Read through the WORD chronologically, Continue with weekly Torah, 
                   Haftarah, and Brit  Hadasha readings, and read one to three 
                   TorahClass lessons per week 

I'm 2 days ahead of schedule on the chrono read thru and since that included reading Torah early on, each week's Torah study with others is more like a refresher.  Next time thru I plan to stick with Torah portions weekly and only read 1 chapter of the rest daily still in chrono order starting with Joshua.  Still working on TorahClass, when on vacation it was easy to read a lesson a day since no other homechores could be done, but at home life happens.  Yield

Redo - Heart - Relational

For Yeshua - donate food to the food pantry and donate to any charity HE lays on 
                       my heart

have a few times this year but could use some improvement yield

For Others - Love on DH more, snuggle and play with DS more, be less 'real' with 
                     other family members (vague talk, no more casting my pearls before 
                     swine), and deepen friendships  with like minded Believers

love on DH more .... comes and goes...especially with the your a loser wife talks so not even giving a light

time with DS no sweat  Check

less real with family who show disdain for Hebrew Roots ... need more help in containing wisdom  yield  

deepen friendships with like minded believers -- really enjoying these people Check

Revise - Strength - Projects/Physical Goals

For Yeshua - a clutter free and company ready apartment so I can minister and be 
                       hospitable to whomever HE sends our way

for a month I've been at least daily cleaning the bathroom and kitchen and weekly vacuuming ... not clutter free but waiting for no spiders to be found yield

For Others - a routine in placed and used so the home is a place of calm and 
                      order  for DH & DS

routine - yes if that means a basic order to the day ... if it means set times uh no  yield ?

Personal - Eat healthier ((bye bye white sugar)) and cardio workout 3 times per  
                   week and strength train 2 times per week in order to be fit and ready to 
                   serve Yah however HE leads

yes to the exercise .... sugar still hard habit to break

Reflect - Mind - knowledge/intellect

For Yeshua - attend a Messianic Seminary and finish Volume II by Charlotte      
                       Mason to be better equipped to home educate the precious boy HE
                       has entrusted to us to raise

X  tried to attend classes at Messianic Seminary and DH said no .... I did read thru volume I by CM last year ... I'm sorry her ideas are great but her books are DRY ... I'm just going to read the summaries at AO website ....whatever

For Others - Finish Year 1 and Start Year 2 alongside DS  ((we do it together so he
                      doesn't feel even more of the only child syndrome))

v   We made it thru Year 1 leaving AIS, T&T, and Just so stories out .... Year 2 is on hold as we have a Year 1.5 but plans are still to get around to Year 2

Personal - land an accounting related career that can mostly be done from my 
                   home

got one outside the home .... huge dilemna this whole time DH has wanted me to work and said I'm a loser who can't handle people and that's why I can't keep a job but just today my boss called for my 6 month review and DH said what haven't you quit that job yet you don't have time for a job you are homeschooling our son.  uh which is it?  you want me to work or you don't ... please make up your mind.  YIELD because it's not an at home career

"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in todays culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." Doug Phillips --
