One Bite and 3in30

October is on the way out. I had some good goals for the month, and did well with 3in30. I had less success with One Bite at a Time, and wonder if I should continue blogging through it or not.
For 3in30, my goals were~
1. Stay consistent with homeschool record keeping.
This goal was a wonderful success. I am doing really well keeping up with my new system of record keeping. This week was a break for us, and I spent a few hours one day printing for the next 6 weeks, and have most of the lesson planning done as well.
2. Wait for the Lord.
I think the waiting may be over. The answer was not what I was wanting to hear. Sometimes our “no” is really a “not right now”, but I don’t know if this is that kind of no.
Some major praying is needed to decide what comes next.
“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”
Psalm 143:8
3. Classroom changes.
I can barely remember the rearranging, and am glad that is behind us!
As for One Bite, we took the week off, so my schedule wasn’t even on my radar. With so many other challenges my friends seem to be already working with, should I even continue the link-up for One Bite? I will still be going through it, I just don’t know about making a weekly commitment to posting about it.
The other option is to just combine the post with my weekly 3in30. Opinions are welcome!
For November, my goals will be~
1. Focus on Gratitude and Thanksgiving {even when our answer is no}.
With Thanksgiving approaching, I want to make the whole month full of giving thanks, not just a week or day. Hopefully, that will spill over into constant thanksgiving in a more visible way everyday.
2. Be a Better Spouse.

I got the better end of the deal in this union. I am picky, obsessive, and untrusting at times of God, which spills into my marriage. I plan to go through Ashley’s book 31 Days to Build a Better Spouse, but plan to pray for myself to be the better spouse instead of my husband. He totally rocks.
3. Use my indoor voice.

I was raised in a LOUD home. My husband, not so much. I would like to try to be a better thermostat around here. I also need to react to stress more calmly.
We’ll see how this one goes.
I hope your month went well, and can’t wait to see your new goals!
