Progress Toward 2019 Goals in February

March is here. Another month is in the books, and God was so good to us again last month. (As always.)

I wanted to share an update on how I’m doing on my goals after February–through today, actually. I’ll list my yearly goals below, with progress for each one beside it.

Here’s an update on our flight plan for the year:

Work/ministry:

• Finish free webinar series teaching through all the power gifts of the Spirit. The next webinar, Operating in the Gift of Miracles, is scheduled for March 7. It’s FREE; sign up here.
• Host live School of the Prophets events here in Chattanooga once per quarter throughout 2019. Completed first School of the Prophets on January 19. I am still working on scheduling the next one.
• Turn 10 of our most helpful prayers/lists on FromHisPresence into free printable resources for our email community. Two done–11 Prayers to Pray for a Spouse and How to Break Unholy Soul Ties free printable guide.
• Turn 5 of our most helpful prayers/teachings on finances and success into free printable resources for our OverNotUnder email community. Not done yet.
• Submit 1 article per month to each of three specific magazines that I already write for. I submitted articles to all three outlets in February.
• Upload all remaining video classes (that I have recorded but not released) to our Gumroad store. Still working on these.
• Upload 10 free Bible reading plans to YouVersion. I uploaded 5 Days to Victorious Fasting to YouVersion and it is scheduled to go live in about 10 days!
• Mentor 10 blogging business through the Abundance Writers Co-op all year. Currently in process. They are still going strong, and I’m so proud of them!
• Host 1-2 Abundance Writers Co-op training sessions per month. Completed this goal for February.
• Find 5 new magazine outlets to write for and have one article published in each by December 31, 2019. I identified 3 new magazines so far. One has accepted an article that will publish in about 2 weeks. I sent one a query (no word yet), and I am writing an article to submit to the third one.
• Reach and maintain 1,000,000 pageviews per month on FromHisPresence.com by June 30, 2019.
• Reach 30,000 pageviews per month on OverNotUnder.com (this blog) by April 30, 2019.
• Preach at least 12 times in addition to hosting our own events. Two sermons scheduled March 16-17.
• Watch 3 video tutorials about how to reach more people online per week. I haven’t been keeping track. 🙁
• Finish removing all broken/dead links from FromHisPresence.com. (Almost done.)
• Finish editing all audio from September 2018 inner healing retreat. Almost done!
• Attend FinCon 2019 (tickets already purchased during pre-sale window).
• Send out prayer cloths to the people in our email community that requested them from our recent Healing webinar. I’m almost done with the first 500 cloths. They’re going out in batches. This has been a huge labor of love, and I’m so excited about it. (Note: These are no longer available to order.)

Family:

• Do something fun outdoors with my husband and my son at least two Saturdays per month, every month. We did this once, this last weekend.
• Read at least one book to my son every day. We did great with this goal in February. My son loves books!
• Cook a healthy dinner for my family and eat it together at the table at least 5 days per week. Um. Well …
• Go on one overnight trip with my husband, without our son, by December 31, 2019.

Fun & health:

• Sew at least one seam on my La Passacaglia quilt every day. I didn’t make this goal every day, and haven’t done much at all on it since the third week of February.
• Finish my botanical La Passacaglia quilt by June 30, 2019.
• Walk/run 350 miles in 2019. February was a bust. 🙁
• Complete 3 half-marathons in 2019. I didn’t make it to my first one. Boo.
• Remain dairy-free when eating at home. I’ve been doing better with this at home, but not when out and about.
• Reach goal weight of size 8, which is healthy for my BMI.

Spiritual:

• Memorize entire book of Philippians by December 31, 2019.
• Finish reading the following books of the Bible straight through by December 31, 2019:
  • Old Testament: Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zephaniah.
  • New Testament: Acts, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Revelation. I’m almost done with Psalms.
  • Note: Lest you think I’m some kind of heretic who doesn’t read her Bible, 😉 just know that yes, I have read those books before. But on this particular go-round of reading straight through the Bible, I was supposed to get those books read straight through last year and didn’t. (I read for quality, not speed, and often repeat passages or read sections of books–e.g. Psalm 80-101–but that doesn’t count as straight through for the sake of this particular goal.) 🙂
• Get up by 4 AM every morning so I can spend time with the Lord during fourth watch. I’ve been doing this most mornings. It really helps.

I’ll continue to update these goals throughout the year, but I’m still really excited about 2019 so far!
