The Next Three Weeks

I was really inspired by a post I saw on instagram a few days ago. Someone from the college I'm going to in a few weeks had decided to do a thirty day challenge in which he had five goals for himself to help grow in his relationship with God, others, and just create a healthy mind and body. I saw the post and was like "Wow, I really need to do something like this!" So after praying about it and spending time with God, I've come up with my five goals for the next three weeks. I'm so excited because they will really help me to put the focus off of myself and focus on God before college begins. And so here they are! Drum roll please... (haha, just kidding, I know I'm not that exciting)

1. I will spend at least an hour first thing in the morning reading God's Word and praying. I personally love doing my devotion time in the morning because it starts off my day focusing on God and just gives me a ton of peace and joy. God continually asks for our best and the firstfruits of all we do, so I am giving Him my mornings.

2. I will pray for a specific person every day. I will write down their name on my hand, and every time I see the name, I will pray for them. I've learned just how much prayer can accomplish, and this will help me to remain in prayer unceasingly. (I actually got this idea from my future roommate! She's awesome.)

3. I will do an act of kindness for someone every day. I will be intentional about this. The world needs more kindness.

4. I will exercise everyday, even if it is as simple as going for a walk. My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and I want to honor Him with my body.

5. I will memorize scripture. For some reason, I've always really struggled with this. I want to have scripture in my heart so that God can speak to me with it. I won't always have my Bible with me, but I can have God's Word written on my heart.

I'm so excited for the next three weeks, and I can't wait to see what God is going to do. If any of you are inspired by this, I dare you to try it out! Make up your own goals and set your own time limit. God will definitely bless you for the time you spend with Him.

In Christ's love,
