MARCH POWERSHEETS

I've said it before and I'll keep saying, I love Powersheets! This beautiful goal planner has helped me for five years with big picture goals and every day habits.

Using the monthly Tending List from my Powersheets, each month I set daily, weekly, and monthly action items to help me reach my goals. This year, my eight goals are to grow in my faith, marriage, family, finances and home, ministry and work, health, friends, and fun.

Here is how I did with my February action items.

• Faith 
Daily - Start and end my day with Jesus. Do Write the Word journal daily. >> I did good here!
Weekly - none
Monthly - Memorize Psalm 4:8. >> I did memorize the verse but didn't start working on it until week four, I want to start earlier next time.

• Marriage
Daily - Pray for my husband. >> This is definitely a daily habit I am loving!
Weekly - Ask my husband what I can do to serve him during the week. >> I did not ask him three of the five weeks, I want to get better about asking him weekly.
Monthly - Spend quality time together. >> I love this time together each month!

• Family
