With February coming to a close its time to check and see how were doing on the goals we set in the beginning of February.  Here were mine:

Spiritually
Start EVERY day in the Bible and prayer
Listen to at least 2 sermons from someone else a week
Lead our staff by example in spiritual matters
Learn from others more
Read 2 books a month
Share the gospel weekly
Give more financially

My progress:
Reading through the chronological Bible.  Progress is good.  Prayer times are sweeter than ever.  Have been praying around an hour a day. 
Listening to someone varies in the week.  Sometimes less than two and others more.
Trying hard to lead our staff.  Tough people to work with.  Ha Ha!
Learning from others by reading and attending conferences.
I love sharing the gospel.  In my office so much.  I have to intentionally look for opportunities.  They are there.



Personal
Lose 30 more pounds - this will put me at 260 (gotta start with what I gained during the holidays)
Work out at least 5 days a week
Participate in five triathlons
Take a day off EVERY week
Not let the things of life effect me as much
Get away twice a year for a few days by myself to spend time with God

My progress:
Lost what I gained during holidays.  I stink at losing weight.  Love to eat.  a true discipline problem.  First goal is 280.  weigh 292 right now.  Working out isn't a problem.  4 - 5 days is the minimum.
Tris haven't started yet.  First one in April.  I am training though.
Haven't taken a full day off during a week yet.  Striving to work harder Monday through Thursday so I can.
I'm awful about letting things effect me.  This hasn't been a good week because I thought Sunday wasn't that good.  Let peoples comments bother me too much.  Praying about these things.
Haven't gotten away yet but planning on doing so.


Family
Date my wife
Spend more time my family
Turn off my cell phone when I get home
Become debt free
Realize my family is my #1 ministry
NEVER take my frustrations from the church out on my family
Get our fence up to keep the new puppies in yard and not the garage

My progress:
Now that basketball season for Jacob is over Deb and I can start dating again.  Love my baby doll.
Doing much better with cell phone.  Just ignore it or turn it off.  So if you've tried to call me of an evening and there wasn't no answer, so sorry but family comes first.  Going to change my number soon.
We are debt free except for our house and Andrew's student loan.  Working on something for that now.
Have done MUCH better with my family.
Fence is up and dog in yard.  I paid someone to do it.


Church
Lead 5 Point without apology
Pour my life into our staff
Add more staff
Talk about the vision on a regular basis
Love and appreciate our volunteers more
Find the exact piece of land God has for us
200 salvations and baptisms
Get more people involved into our home teams
Take our worship services to anther level
Work harder by working smarter

My progress:
I am leading and do not apologize for it.
Have added one staff member and prayerfully going after two others.
Have begun talking about vision regularly and will continue to do even more.
I do appreciate every volunteer.  I'm going to start writing two volunteers every week this week.
Still no land.  Praying daily.
We've numerous salvations. 
Worship services haven't reached another level.  Need more specialized staff to do the things I want.
Home teams are doing better.



How are you doing?  Don't quit.  The devil wants you to quit.  Remember, Jesus Christ is your biggest cheer leader.
