Monday Madness (Not sure if that's the title I'm sticking with)
So, in the spirit of continual blogging, (the 21 day challenge is over, but the love of blogging continues!) I've decided that Monday will now be Monday Madness.
Basically, it'll be about different ideas that are bouncing around in my head. Some may be turned into blogs at some point in the future, but for now this is how I'll be sharing what's inside my head.
Books!
I have seven books on my desk that need to be read, as well as a few books on my desktop that also should be read/finished. These will most likely be talked about more in depth later, so I won't list names or anything like that. "Leaders are Readers" is pretty much the motto that I'm trying to apply to my life right now, so that means I need to buckle down and start reading!
Money!
So, keeping track of my money has definitely helped curb my crazy spending. Yes, I've only been at it for 5 days, but in those 5 days I've only spent 25 pesos (2 dollars,) whereas I've set aside 300 pesos (27 dollars) from the money that I've made. I'm going to be giving periodic updates for anyone who cares, and I'll also work on making a really cool, but very SIMPLE, balance sheet for anyone who is interested in working on saving money (and spending it more wisely) with me!
Change!
Change brings... change. It can be positive, it can be negative, but when there is a big change in one area of your life/organization, there will almost always be other areas that are changed or restructured. It's good to be ready for (unexpected) changes, so that if the opportunity arises you'll be able to implement other changes as well. (A dumb example: your internet goes out. If you weren't planning on changing your internet habit, you'd be upset and frustrated. If you're planning on reading more books, perhaps this unexpected change is the perfect opportunity to apply other changes to your life.)
Future Wife!
Last Monday I wrote "A Note to my Future Wife." It really got me thinking about whether or not I'm prepared, or getting prepared, to enter such a serious relationship. So I've started to pray for specific things for my "Future Wife" during my devotional time. Sometimes it's something that comes to mind that has nothing to do with the text that I'm reading, and sometimes I basically pray for her what the Bible is saying to me.
That's pretty much all that's going on in my head. I don't tell you these things to brag, but merely to let you know what's going on in my life and in my head. This will more than likely turn into an every-Monday post, so see you next Monday with more random thoughts and ideas :)
