Time to write some goals and strive to accomplish them this coming week??
I have NEWS!! The Goal Planning Monday link up has moved. I am proud to announce that the creator of GPM is putting it on hiatus on her blog and is going to allow me to host it here in the meantime. So I will be working on a new button but for now you can use the old buttons and just link it up to my site here... http://debbiesdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/Goals

Last week was stressful and many of the goals I had, though I kept them simple, didn't get accomplished. Hubbies recovery from the procedure/surgery was more extensive than we expected. He had one angioplasty done on a 95% blockage and had a stent put in. He has one more blockage, 70% to still have taken care of. This is a new week and I am excited to strive to do what God wants me to do with each day this week. I am treasuring my family more this week, especially my hubby. I thank God that these problems were caught before he had heart damage. Continued prayers are appreciated.
My top priorities are marked with a *
My goals for this coming week:
Spiritual Goals
- *Pray my way through my hubbies Tuesday heart catheterization and any repercussions/follow up procedures or problems from that procedure. Done- I could feel the prayers of friends and family. Thanks so much.
- Morning Devotions - including Bible reading, prayer, listening to music and reading a spiritual
book. Read through Proverbs each month. Prayer will be a focus this year as that is my word for 2013. I am reading Praying God's Word: Breaking Free from Spiritual Strongholds by Beth Moore. Not Done - I spent many hours praying and talking with the Lord but did not really do any of my studies - Keep up with my Hello Mornings group the best that I can. Not Done - and not going to worry about it.
- Participate in the Joy Dare in 2013. Writing down 3 things each day that are gifts from God, things to be thankful for totaling more than 1000 gifts in 2013. Not Done - I am behind but will catch up in no time. By next Monday I am sure.
- No homeschool goals at this time. We are done school for the year. I will have some goals later this summer but for the next 2 weeks I will not be worrying about that.
- Comment on everyone's blog that links up to the Goal Planning Monday linky. Not Done - No one linked up. I have to let everyone know the link up is here now. Hopefully Katrina will post about it soon on here blog and point everyone here. I will try and track down the regulars that used to post at Mama Manuscripts and I would love some new participants as well.

Personal/Other Goals
- Read. Done - I got a little reading done on Tuesday while my hubby had his procedure. I got more done after that while waiting for my son to be done work and while riding in the car with my family/hubby this week. We took a long drive yesterday and stopped by a library. After that he got tired and I drove part way home. I have accompanied him today while he drove to take my son to work. Just in case he needs me to drive.
- *Doodle a picture for a friend. Done - I doodled a picture for the Holman family that visited our home last week, most of the family was visiting us for the first time. I photographed my doodle and I will post it later this week. The Holman's are friends from Texas and were here on the east coast for a vacation and spent one day with us. It was a great day. The kids had a blast. There were 4 parents and 10 kids in the house.
- Clean my home as well as I can for company on Friday... IF hubby does not have to have heart bypass surgery. If he does than getting through the week will be enough for me. Done - my girls ended up doing a lot of the cleaning. I forgot that after the surgery I would have to do so much driving. Taking son to work, bringing hubby home from the hospital, picking up \prescriptions for him, grocery shopping... and more. It took up a lot more time than I had anticipated. Good thing I spent so many years training my girls to cook and clean. It really pays off when I need them. They are great girls and happy to serve their family. I am blessed.
