tithe loyally (read all 2 entries…)
Fulfilled? 6 months ago

I guess it’s been 3 months since I made this goal on 43T and a year since we’ve been at our current church, trying to tithe loyally. We decided it’s easiest for us to write a check each week rather than once a month and have been taking 10% off our gross pay (rather than net, which we were doing previously.) Sometimes we cut it kind of close, but the Lord has always provided for our needs in wonderful ways! We are trying to give more in the form of offerings to missions etc., but it has been tough and that’s our next priority!



exercise four times a week (read all 4 entries…)
Maybe need a break from yoga 10 months ago

Yesterday a friend had to rush to the emergency room, so I babysat her little girl for about 8 hours. Of course, I skipped my gym appointment and didn’t fill the time with any other exercise. It’s okay, though. Chasing around two babies is exercise enough for one night! :-)

Today we went to the yoga/pilates class. It was nice and I do enjoy the class, but now that I’m getting a pregnant belly, I’m thinking I’ll need to do something else. Yoga in general is fine while pregnant, but our instructor chooses a lot of positions that are getting pretty uncomfortable. There is an indoor cycling class at the same time that I think I’ll start taking.



blog regularly (read all 2 entries…)
Finally, a post! 10 months ago

My last blog update was in October and I’ve been very busy since then and haven’t wanted to sit down for so long to write the post. Yesterday I finally wrote it all up and published what’s been happening since October! There are still some things that I would like to blog about, but they’ll be much shorter posts and I’ll definitely get to them. At least I broke the silence and can now get to some sort of a regular blogging routine!
