New Years Resolutions, #7

Ahhh! Sorry I forgot to update last month. :( Well, here's an update!

1. As for my Bible reading, it is going great! I have been reading a chapter (or, rather, a book the last few days :P) a day. Today I read Jude, it is only one chapter long, so, I just read the whole book!

2. To be honest, I KEEP FORGETTING!!!!!! Well, my sis and I just changed rooms (I'll talk more about that later :D) so, right now, it is very clean! :P

TTYL! (Talk To Y'all Later!)

In Him,
Buttercup :)

New Years Resolutions, #6

I just remembered today that I had not done this yet this month, so I will do it now, before I completely forget to do it. :P

As for having my room clean every Friday night, I am keeping it clean! Mostly... Well, kind of, I have been keeping my part of the room in order, the other part is not really my concern. That is my sisters' part, their place, I don't go over there unless I have to! Just kidding. :P

My Bible reading is going pretty good, I kinda dropped it when I started the study on 2nd Timothy. But I am on Titus, and I promise to pick it up again this week! Not far to go!

Thanks for reading, I know this is really boring compared to the Bible study. :)

What do y'all think of the study? Are y'all liking it? I want the truth! I know I go really long, but I want to dig! I want to dig deep into God's word! So, if y'all want me to go longer that probably won't be too big of a problem for me! lol. <3 Buttercup <3

New Years Resolutions #5

Hello everyone! Well, for some reason, this month I have been really wanting to do this post. I don't know why....

Anyways, my Bible reading is going good, I am having to do it at different times of day than normal, because we have either been doing stuff in the mornings (biking, garage sale, etc.), or I am just too tired. But I am getting it done. So that is good. :) I am in first Timothy, I read chapters two and three today because I forgot to read yesterday. I have been ready a chapter a day normally, since I do some Bible reading in school too.

As for the room cleaning, um, I have not done so good this month, last Friday it was gorgeous!!!! Hey! Don't you think a thoroughly cleaned room is beautiful?!?!?! I do!!! And, guess what! It has stayed clean all week!!!!! I am so excited!!!! So, hopefully that was the "halfway through the year turnaround." LOL. I will try VERY hard now to keep it perfect. I promise.

I hope your resolutions are going better than mine! Tell me how it's going, I love comments! :)

New years Resolutions, #4

Hello everyone! :) Well, since it is almost the end of May, I thought I would do the New Years Resolutions monthly update.

Um, with cleaning my room, I have to admit that I completely forgot about it. I could not even remember what this resolution was! I only remembered to do my Bible reading. I WILL try to remember to do it this Friday night. Can someone remind me? LOL. :D

With Bible reading, I was doing pretty good for most of the month, until I got the chicken pox, watched Lord of the Rings for the first time (late at night), then we went on the youth camp out. Now that we are all done with stuff, I can concentrate on getting up early enough to read. I did it this morning though. :)

By the way, it is #4 instead of #5 because I forgot to do it in February. :D

So busy... monthly resolutions update

Hey Y'all! I have been pretty busy the last couple days.... so I have an excuse to say that I missed cleaning my room last night.... lol. Actually, I have been pretty naughty.... I have not had my room clean on Friday nights for a long time. :(

But, with my Bible reading, I have been getting up at 6:30 am, (I just got an alarm clock!!!! YES!!!!) and reading my Bible (in the quiet, VERY RARE) for an hour. It has really been great! I am really enjoying it! I did not get up at 6:30 this morning though, I got to bed about two hours after I usually do, so I was soooooooooo tired! I just finished Luke; and, if you did not already know, I am going in order through the New Testament. So I have already finished Matthew, Mark, and Luke. :D

If you made any resolutions, how are they going? I hope you are doing better than me! :D

New Years Resolutions #2

I am sorry I did not post last month. :( This month will be busy too, so I am posting at the beginning of the month before I forget again, or just put it off. :)

#1- Read through the New Testament: Well, I have a good reason to say that I am still in Matthew. I am changing the version in which I read, so I just started over. Not to much to say about that.

#2- Have my room clean by the time I go to sleep on Friday night, so it is clean when I wake up on Saturday morning: (I think I keep changing the wording on that, lol.) I sometimes clean it up. :) O.k. guilty as charged. :) I really need someone to help me!!!! I share a room with two really messy little girls, who hate cleaning the room! O.k I can be messy too, but not as much! :D At least I think of cleaning the room without being told. :D I think I am getting off of the subject now. Anyway, it really has turned into a clean one week not clean the next week pattern. Exactly what I was afraid of. Oh, well, I will keep my eye on the target, I still hope to reach my goal.

How are your resolutions going? I love to hear from my readers! :)

New Years Resolutions #1

I am going to try to update y'all on my New Years Resolutions once a month. I hope y'all will do the same, I think that this is a good way to keep up with our resolutions. Here is the first one: #1 have my room clean by every Friday night before I go to bed: I succeeded the first weekend, then not the second weekend, then I did it last night(I hope this does not turn out to be a pattern). #2 Read through the New Testament in a year: I have read the first few chapters of Matthew but I need to remember to do it everyday.

How are your New years Resolutions going??? I would love to hear from my readers! :)

New Years Resolutions

At about this time last year, I made a list of resolutions for 2008. Now, obviously, I did not understand what I was doing. I simply made a list of things that I wanted to do that year, such as: learning French. Now, let me tell you, I only learned one word in French, I learned it out of a Nancy Drew book.

All of my resolutions went about that way. So, this year, (since I have learned my lesson), I can decide my resolutions for 2009. This morning I thought that if I had rules to my resolutions then it would help me better decide what I should do, so here are my three rules to resolution making: #1- It has to be do-able in a years time, #2- It can't be so hard that I bail out in the middle, #3- It has to be something that I can catch up on if I miss a day. And the resolution has to meet at least 2 of the three rules.

So, here are my two 2009 resolutions: #1- to have my room perfectly clean every Saturday morning when I wake up, #2- to read through the New Testament section part of the Bible. During the year I will probably add a couple more if I am successful in conquering these.

So what are your 2009 resolutions? I would really like to hear about what you are trying to conquer this year. :)
