I did a math-y thing during quiet time this morning. I mean, I don't think it would stand up to a statistical analysis, but I was proud enough of my method to show it off to my hubby across the kitchen table when I was through :0)
Since we are substantially into autumn (the feeling of the season, if not according to the calendar), I decided it would be wise to assess my performance in the goals I've set for myself--something to do with Ephesians 5:15-17. I wrote out 13 goals for myself, ranging from "reestablish a daily quiet time" to "connect with other stay-at-home moms" to "generate content for the library web page."
And since we bought a house (because, yes, we DID buy that house on Markham Street!) and the majority of my time and thought process for the rest of autumn will be spent on moving our family to a new home, I need to make extra sure that I still give some attention to these goals. I did, after all, make them intentionally and (still) consider (most of) them important.
So, in the photo is the math-y part, where I see how my performance stacks up on a scale of 1-10. The good news is I'm doing really well on the two most important goals [daily quiet time (10) and enriching my prayer life (9)]! And the other good news is that, having reassessed my goals, I have a clear picture of where I need to focus my energies to move from "goals" to "accomplishments"! Using time wisely is a good feeling. So good, in fact, that our God commands it of me--and of you!
