  • 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 --
