Today, I (Megan) am going to recap our first week of the challenge (June 27-July 3).
Reading:
- Melissa and Amy are trying to expand their horizons by reading books from different genres. Last week Amy read a historical fiction, Princess Adelina. Melissa read a non-fiction book, We Band of Angels.
- Molly chose a fiction book, Elsie Dinsmore.
- I chose a non-fiction book to complete my 300 pages. I read Make It Your Ambition by John Notgrass. I really enjoyed reading this book because it challenged me to re-evaluate my priorities and life goals based on scripture, rather than the world’s ideas. It was a well-thought out book, which reminded and encouraged me to glorify God in every area of my life.
Health:
- We have all kept up with drinking our water. Personally, this is one of favorite parts of the challenge, because we often turn it into a race to see who finishes their daily quota of water, before the others J
Exercise:
- Due to the warm weather that we have been experiencing lately, we chose to go swimming everyday last week as our form of exercise.
Memorization:
- Melissa, Molly, and Amy challenged themselves to memorize Ephesians 6:10-17.
- I have chosen to memorize Colossians 3, and got through verse 4.
Homemaking:
- Megan, Amy, and Molly teamed up to try a new meal. We made Oriental Chicken, Fried Rice, and Steamed Carrots. The meal was pretty good (if I do say so myselfJ)
That’s our update. We hope this will encourage you to join us. It’s never too late to join us, even if you can only participate in a portion of the challenge, or for a shorter amount of time. Please comment and say hi, we always love hearing from our friends!
-Megan
