Another Week Gone

As we close out another week that went by way too fast I can't help but reflect. On the week, on the month, on the year. Of course we always do that this time of year; we reminisce about the good times and plan for what to do better in the next year.

Here are a couple of things I plan to do in 2014.

1. A Prayer Journal : I really want to keep praying for people as long as they need it. This means recording in a journal all the prayers I say and keep praying until the answer is clear! There is a lot more to this but, right now, it's all in my head and hard to put into words.

2. Budget : This is one of those things we always say we'll do better at; not eat out as much, save more, and buy only what we need so we can save for fun things (like a vacation)! We always have unexpected expenses though, mostly medical and vehicle, and it's hard to plan for those which makes it hard to set a budget. But, we'll try once again!

3. Devotions and Prayer time with kids : We are receiving a book from Hubby's work that is a kids/family devotional so I hope to keep that up and then find other things to supplement with. I also want to do prayer sticks where at dinner we pull out someone's name (family, friend, or other) that we specifically pray for.

4. Date Nights with Hubby : There are too many times we talk about this and they never happen. We need to focus our relationship this year (not because it's in jeopardy, please don't read that wrong) so we can continue to grow strong in our marriage and glorify God through it.

As I think of more I will post more.

All week I've been planning for P-Man's Class Holiday Party and now this came up today on our local news weather page: A Winter Weather Advisory...YUCK
WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 1 PM EST FRIDAY. HAZARDOUS WEATHER... * FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY MORNING. * AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE AND LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SLEET ARE EXPECTED. * 

My weekend is shaping up to be inside and hopefully cozy curled up with a good book and playing games with the kiddos. Hubby is working since it's the weekend before Christmas and he works food retail...working is kind of a given this weekend. He will be missing our kids Christmas program at church on Sunday but will be with us for 3 days over Christmas!!

What's your weekend looking like?
