High Five Friday

For this week's top 5, I'm going to do the

Top Five Resolutions I'm Most Likely to Keep for 2014.

1. Reading the New Testament + Psalms/Proverbs in a Year

This may not sound that challenging, but let me remind you that I have attempted to read the whole Bible through in a year before and have failed miserably every time. I want to set realistic goals that I can actually keep!

2. Make the Bed Every Day 

{"Day" could be changed to "Morning" if I was really dedicated! Baby steps, people.}

So far I'm 50% on this if you only count making it as SOON as I get up. Wednesday when I did make it, I loved walking by and seeing my nice, clean room! That never happens on weekday mornings. Yesterday, I had to be at my aunt's house at 6:45 a.m. so I wasn't going to waste 3 extra minutes of sleep time to make the bed. So I'm going to say making it after I get back home still counts!

3. Cook Dinner at Least Twice a Week

Ty will appreciate this. And yes, crock pot meals absolutely count.

4. Blog at Least Twice a Week

Maybe my blogging efforts can coincide with my meals… It appears as though I will be pretty busy 2/7 nights a week.

5. Think Before I Speak More

This is the most cliche of them all, I would say. But I really want to try and first analyze what is about to come out of my mouth, decide if it's worthy to be spoken, and then, if so, speak it. I catch myself saying rude/short/unnecessary things, especially when I'm at home and out of "teacher" mode where I have to think before I speak. Just being real here, for un momento.

I hope that I'm able to keep all 5 this year!!
