October: Spirituality

My focus for October is late. I know.

I was planning to focus on marriage this month, but in order to focus on my marriage I felt like I needed to focus on my relationship with my Savior first. Arguably this should have been done in September, but here we are. I've been a bit spiritually lazy the last few months. Without the discipline of a regular bible study, my quiet time and prayer time have fallen by the wayside. This month I am going to get back on track. And I have help. This morning, despite my plans to sleep in, I was wide awake at seven o'clock with a urging in my mind to get up and do my quiet time. So I did it. Hopefully the Lord will help me get up every morning because sometimes that extra 15 minutes seems impossible. 

On that note, here is the plan (that I will need His help to stick to):

List prayer requests:
- Record requests, personal and from others
- Pray over list at least 1x per day
- Remember to note answers to prayer requests

 Read books on faith:
- Finish 'Blue Like Playdoh'
- Read 'Heaven is for Real' and 'Jesus Died for This'
- Start a study or devotional

 Do my quiet time:
- Get up 15 minutes earlier
- Start with the Psalms
- End with prayer

 Keep a gratitude journal:
- Record blessings
- I have A LOT to be thankful for
- Remember to thank Him daily

 At least I am off to a good, be it late, start. Wish me joy!
