Day 30- Your highs and lows of this month

Highs and lows of the month. Ok, so between August 17 and September 17 since I didn't follow the rules of these updates.

Highs:
~Getting along with a particularly challenging person in my personal life. I have struggled with this for the past few months, but I have worked on it and I think we are in a much better place now than we were 3 months ago.
~ College friends getting engaged and married
~ Getting to see my best friend work at a sometimes challenging job, but finally getting to meet some of the people I have heard about all summer.
~ Meeting Annie and Chris, friends of Anna's that I fell in love with instantly and hope to see again.
~ Successfully finding Sunday School teachers for all our classes
~ Everything related to BTSR
~ Seeing a former camp coordinator and having her tell me she was proud of me
~ Writing my first seminary paper

Lows:
~Having to wait until the week before Sunday School started to finally have people volunteer
~ Not getting to spend more time with Jacob and Anna while on vacation
~ Seeing families at our church leave because of new ordination rules in the PC(USA) denomination
~ Only having 14 children at our first night of TeamKID, when last year we had 32
~ Because of transitions in the church, seeing things fall through the cracks that shouldn't, but not being able to take on the new responsibilities
~ Questioning what I should do with my job, starting school full-time, and making some major changes in my professional life

Day 29- Goals for the next 30 days

This is a great place to start...and then I'll update my blog with what has been happening in my life.

Goals for the next 30 days:
1. Update my blog at least once a week.
2. Stay ahead in my class work, completing all homework for the upcoming class by Sunday evening.
3. Change my work schedule, so I'm in the office by 8:30 every morning.
4. Talk to my grandmother on the phone once every 2 weeks.
5. Finish my "reading for fun book" for my book club in whatever way necessary.
6. Take the time to process what's going on in seminary.
7. Have open and honest conversations with myself and others about what I think God wants me to do with my life and moving to Richmond.
8. Be always waiting for how God is working in my life.
9. Find ways to support and grow with the youth in outlets outside of Sundays.
10. Write 3 encouraging notes to church members I don't interact with on a regular basis each week.

OK. Here we go!
