July Currently

I am linking up with Farley over at "Oh' Boy 4th Grade" for her July Currently.

I know I am a day late, but better than never. :)

Listening - I was working out so I have So You Think You Can Dance on.  I finished working out so now it's just playing.  I like to have something to watch while I workout at home.  Our dog is also barking outside at who knows what.  There is probably some creature out in the field.

Loving - I am loving having the summer off to spend with my little girl.  I also use the summer to catch up and get ahead on a lot of things.  This summer I have been working on VBS, 10 year class reunion, cheerleading, and a music camp.  I could not do it all during the school year if I did not take time during the summer.

Thinking - I plan on driving to our river house tomorrow, but I have so much to do here before being gone for 4 days.  Ahhh! It truly is never ending.

Wanting - I would love to have my school keys back.  They take them up at the end of the school year, and they won't give them back until they are done waxing our floors.  Well school starts in less than a month and we still don't have them.  I am getting a little stressed!

Needing - I think we could all agree that we would love to have more time in general. :)

4th Plans - We always spend the 4th at our river house.  I plan on taking it easy, reading a book, and enjoying fireworks by the water front. 

What are your 4th of July plans?  I hope you have a great 4th!

March Currently

I am linking up with Farley over at "Oh' Boy 4th Grade" for her March Currently.

Listening - I am listening to the Saturday Lifetime movie.  This has become a tradition the past few weeks at my house.  My husband actually enjoys watching them, too.  (Shhh, don't tell him I told you.)

Loving - I love how much I have gotten done today.  I planned my meals for the entire month, went grocery shopping for the entire month, went to the Flea Market, visited with my parents, ran almost 2 miles, visited my friends in their new home, and sat down with the hubby to discuss house plans.  (We are meeting with the contractor tomorrow....oh my!)

Thinking - I still have so much to do.  We are celebrating Read Across America Day on Monday, and I have cheer clinic and tryouts this coming up week.  I am no where near ready!

Wanting - I wish I could just snap my fingers and everything would be done.  Then, I would have more time for family and friends.

Needing - More time!  Do you see a trend here?  Haha

????? - What do you think the question is?

I hope you have a marvelous month!

February Currently

I am linking up with Farley over at "Oh' Boy 4th Grade" for her February Currently.

Listening - I am listening to "The Price is Right" but not really watching it.  I am also listening for the baby monitor.  My seven month old is down for her morning nap.

Loving - I am loving having today off so that I can catch up on some things.  We are out of school due to ice.

Thinking - I am thinking about all that I need to get done - laundry, revamping plans for a shorter week, meal plans, etc.

Wanting - I am wanting some time with Kevin, my husband.  He was gone from Thursday-Sunday.  When he got home yesterday, I had to leave for a meeting and then it was Super Bowl.  He had to go to work today. :(

Needing - I am needing to get up and fold clothes before little bit wakes up.  I also need to do my daily workout that I have been putting off since I didn't have to go to work.

2 Truths and a Fib
1) I love water! - Water is pretty much all I drink.  I absolutely love it, but it did come as a challenge at first.
2) I play the piano. - I absolutely love playing the piano.  I actually give private lessons after school to 8 kids.
3) I have plenty of money! - FIB!!! - I am teacher, and my husband is a farmer.  What teacher has plenty of money?  However, my family is able to live comfortably.  God has truly blessed us.

I hope you have a blessed day!

January Currently & The Best Year Yet

Since yesterday I wanted to start the year off right with my Wednesday's Word of Wisdom, I waited to post my January Currently today.

Listening - I am listening to sweet Adelaide sleeping, and Kevin watching TV.  This seems to be the normal lately.

Loving - I am loving having time off.  Don't get me wrong, I love my job!  However, I need time off to reflect, rest, and restore my passion.

Thinking - I am thinking about everything that I have on my To Do list that needs to be done before going back to work on Monday.  Oh my!  Hopefully, I will be able to check some of those off today.

Wanting - I would love to be able to snap my fingers and my house to be cleaned.  Kevin always says our house isn't dirty, but I am a little OCD and like everything to be dusted.

Needing - I am needing to be more productive.  I feel like when I am on break that I don't get as much done as when I am working.  This should be the opposite.

Memory and/or Tradition - I was glad to have continued a Christmas tradition with Adelaide this year.  We go to the local nursing home on Christmas Eve night and deliver gifts to the residents while they sleep.  Then when they wake up it looks as if Santa has came.  I have done this with my family since I was born, and I was thrilled to continue this with my daughter.

If you have some time, go link up with Farley at "Oh' Boy 4th Grade".

I also wanted to link up with Ashley at Just Reed with her The Best Year Yet Linky Party.

This week it's all about our Spiritual Goals.  Where do I start?  I have so many spiritual goals for this year.  I think my post about my One Little Word explains my overall goal which is to let my light shine in everything I do.  I have been so overwhelmed with my work that I have let my light burn out in areas of family, friends, and home life.  I want to change this in the upcoming year.  

1.  I am going to actively participate in my church.  First, I need to join the church.  I have been going with my husband to his home church for a few years, but I have never joined.  I want to move my membership to the church and become more active in the church.  

2.  I am going to participate in Bible studies.  I love doing Bible studies, because they hold me accountable.  I have joined in on one with ladies of the church that starts next week.  We will be studying The Daniel Plan.  I am excited about this, but I know it will be a lot different than my normal Beth Moore, Lysa Turkeurst, or Priscilla Shirer studies.

3.  I want to read the Bible through.  I have done this before, but I want to do it again.  I plan on reading the Bible through and putting notes in it for Adelaide.  

4.  I am going to commit more scripture to memory.  I have memorized a lot of scripture before, but I want to be more consistent.  So I am going to memorize a verse per week.  My plans are to write the verse on an index card and place on my mirror in the bathroom.  Once the week is up, I will change it out and keep it on a ring.  Then at the end of the year I will have all the verses I memorized in one place.  When Adelaide gets older, I want her to do this too.

5.  Last but definitely not least, I want to spread the good news!  

What are your spiritual goals for the new year?
