The Pelsers

3in30 Challenge

Time for a 3 in 30 check-in.  Week 3 of October.  Details of my goals are back in this post.

  1. Be consistant with my morning routine – Again another FAIL.  I've been staying up too late.  It's been an on call week for Josh and that always throw things for a loop around here.  I know that my mornings are key to my day so I think that I'm being targeted for attack in this area as I am exposing my battle with depression.  I've been up by 7am most mornings, but I've been cuddling with the boys.  Not a bad thing at all, just off routine and pushes other morning things around.  Thankfully, I've been doing well with this bump in the road – I've been able to read during breakfast or while the boys are playing before school.  Basically, I'm holding on the best I can this month.  I don't expect to meet my goal of 6am by the end of the month.  I will be happy if I can get myself back to 6:15am for my wake-up and will try again for 6am in November.  I'm thankful to My Mornings Group #6 for encouraging me this through time.
  2. Reading – Doing great with 1 John, Seasons of a Mother's Heart, Educating the WholeHearted Child, and Grace for the Good Girl.  No additional progress in Up, Down, or Sideways or in Spiritual Parenting.  Want to see my full Fall reading list?
  3. 31 Days to… – 31 Days of Finding Joy in Depression is in it's 3rd week and I've been keeping up on my posts.  It takes a lot to think and pray through those posts and get them written.  Most of the rest of the series is outlined and partially prepared.  I'm in awe of what God is doing in me through this series and how it is encouraging those who have been reading it.

What are your goals for October?
