This Week: It’s Time To Come Alive
This week we’re going to talk about identity and motherhood. I’ll explain more about it tomorrow, but for now, I wanted to share this quote I read a couple days ago:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman

I took action! I set a morning schedule and have managed to stick with it for over a week – not missing a quiet time and saving me several hours of productive time each day! I look forward to my mornings now.
After years of not being able to get up earlier than 7:00 I have been consistently waking up at 6 for two weeks now.

I took my three year old on a mommy and me outing. We went to yard sales! : ) We also took both girls fishing yesterday!
I took action!
My action this week was putting aside time for my husband and sons on father’s day, despite my fast approaching writing deadlines. On our way to the movie my son said “this is so cool, all of us going to a movie together, usually it is just dad and I,” my follow-up, “what about when it is just you and mommy?” Killian’s response, “Mom that isn’t an activity, that is a date, and those are just for you and I, but we can’t have a date on Father’s Day, that isn’t fair to Daddy!”
I took action!
I got up early this morning and had my quiet time and exercised…and even got time to shower before my girls woke up.

I forgave a friend.
.-= Laura K´s last blog ..Adventure on a Lake =-.
I have been praying and struggling with one of my closest friends and some decisions that she has made lately. I read your post and I realized that I need to forgive her for what I feel she may have done to our friendship. I really needed that – so I forgave a friend today.
My action was to do some tomato staking. (from Raising Godly Tomatoes) Discipline with the kids has been slightly willy-nilly do to a huge remodel on the house. So over the weekend (and today too!) i decided to bite the bullet and start again with the tomato staking. It makes the family so much more fun to be a part of!

I took action.
I finally finished planning my Summer of Purpose- inspired by you 🙂 And we jumped in today. Lots of fun! I have a post about for tomorrow so I’ll link up then.
I took action! I actually got up this morning when I alarm went off instead of constantly hitting snooze or just turning off until my daughter woke up. (It definitely helped to put my cell phone on my dresser instead of night table.) I was able to read my Bible, pray, start the dishwasher, fold 2 loads of clothes, start another load of clothes, and get dressed before my husband and daughter woke up. It made my day go so much better!

I’ve committed to (and have stayed on course so far) running 3x per week as well as drinking more water to get healthier!

I got up early today to exercise and read my bible before the kids got up. When my son woke me up 5 minutes before my alarm went off to help him “fix” his bed I tried every excuse in the book….but something needs to be done and it needs to be done now, not tomorrow.
I took action
I have made it a point to go to bed at a decent hour (before midnight), so getting up in the morning is not a struggle and my body gets fully rested.
I finally took action this week and made the commitment to get up 1/2 hour earlier than my family so that I could have some quiet time to read my Bible and pray before the rest of the family (well, my husband, at least) gets up.
Oooh, my post counts for two entries, right? 🙂
I took action this week! I nailed my two miles in under thirty minutes. May not be much to a seasoned runner, but for this outta shape mommy? It was fantastic.

I took action! I got up this morning and worked out, then went to the park and walked 2 miles! I used to walk at the park almost every morning a year ago. I’ve been wanting to get back into the groove, and today was a great start! And walking early set the tone for my whole day, because I started the day with a win!

I made a yummy, healthy meal plan.

I’m inputing bills in our budget in their respective funds daily, which makes it MUCH less confusing and hectic on Fridays, and we can see through the week where we’re at with our finances. I’m also being more diligent about making a meal plan for the week (WITH lunches!!), because I have realized we can cut out grocery bill by almost half with just having a plan… 🙂
